Rocket 88
Rocket 88: Cruisin' with Modern Vibe
Lyrics
One, two, one, two, three, four
Counting in for the musical start
You heard of jalopies
Referring to old, dilapidated cars
You heard the noise they make
Describing the loud sounds they produce
Let me introduce my new Rocket 88
Introducing the speaker's new car, the Rocket 88
Yes she's straight, just won't wait
Highlighting the car's smooth and prompt behavior
Everybody likes my Rocket 88
Expressing general admiration for the Rocket 88
Babe we'll ride in style movin' all along
Anticipating a stylish and comfortable ride with the car
V8 motor baby, it's modern design
Describing the car's powerful V8 motor and modern design
Black convertible top and the girls don't mind
Mentioning the aesthetic features, like a black convertible top, that appeal to others
Sportin' with me riding all around town for joy
Enjoying leisurely rides around town with the car
Step in my Rocket baby, don't be late
Inviting someone to enter the Rocket and not be late
We're pulling out about a half past eight
Planning to leave around 8:30 PM
Goin' around the corner and get a fifth
Heading around the corner, possibly for a drink
Everybody in my car gonna take a little nip
Indicating a casual, social atmosphere with friends taking a drink in the car
Move on out, movin' and cruisin' along
Continuing the journey, moving and cruising
All right
Confirming readiness to proceed
