Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You, women, have heard of jalopies
You've heard the noise they make
Well, let me introduce my new Rocket 88
Yes, it's great, just won't wait
Everybody likes my Rocket 88
Baby, we'll ride in style, moving all along
[Verse 2]
V8 motor and this modern design
Black convertible top and the gals don't mind
Sporting with me, riding all around town for joy
Blow your horn, Raymond, blow it
[Bridge]
Go, Ike, go
[Verse 3]
Step in my Rocket and don't be late
Baby, we're pulling out about half past eight
Going 'round the corner and hear those wheels
Everybody in my car's gonna take a little nip
Move on out, oozing and cruising along
