Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You women have heard of jalopies
You heard the noise they make
Well, let me introduce my new Rocket 88
Yes, it's straight, just won't wait
Everybody likes my Rocket 88
Babe, we'll ride in style, move it all alone
[Verse 2]
A V8 motor, baby, it's modern design
Black convertible top and the girls don't mind
Sportin' with me, riding all around town for joy
[Verse 3]
Step in my Rocket, babe, and don't be late
We're pullin' out about half past eight
Goin' round the corner and get a fifth
Everybody in my car's gonna take a little nip
Move on out, boozin' and cruisin' along
Written by: Ike Turner, Jackie Brenston
