Rocket 88
Rocket 88: Cruisin' in Style with Modern Desires
Lyrics
You women have heard of jalopies
Referring to old, rundown cars
You've heard the noise they make
Referring to the loud sounds they produce
Let me introduce my new Rocket 88
Introducing a new car, Rocket 88
Yeah, she's straight, just won't wait
The car is fast and doesn't hesitate
Everybody likes my Rocket 88
Everyone admires the Rocket 88
Babe we'll ride in style movin' all along
Expressing the enjoyment of riding stylishly
A V8 motor baby, it's modern design
Describing the powerful V8 engine
Black convertible top, all the girls don't mind
Details about the car's appearance that girls like
Sportin' with me riding all around town with joy
Enjoying driving around town with pride
Step in my Rocket, don't be late
Invitation to get into the Rocket
'Cause we're pulling out about half past eight
Planning to leave around 8:30 PM
Goin' around the corner and get a fifth
Planning to stop and buy alcohol
Everybody in my car's gonna take a little nip
Everyone in the car will have a drink
Move on out, oozin' and cruisin' along
Slowly moving along, enjoying the ride
Here we go, here we go
Excited anticipation of the journey
Step in my Rocket, don't be late
Repeating the invitation to join the ride
'Cause we're pulling out about half past eight
Reiterating the departure time
Goin' around the corner and get a fifth
Reiterating the plan to buy alcohol
Everybody in my car's gonna take a little nip
Reiterating everyone will drink in the car
Move on out, oozin' and cruisin' along
Continuing to cruise along comfortably
We gone y'all, we gone
Expressing departure, leaving the scene
