performed by James Cotton

You women have heard of jalopies; you?ve heard the noise they make
Let me introduce my new Rocket 88
Yeah she?s straight, just won?t wait. Everybody likes my Rocket 88
Babe we?ll ride in style movin? all along

A V8 motor baby; it?s modern design
Black convertible top and the girls don?t mind
Sportin? with me riding all around town with joy
(no V chord here)

A V8 motor baby; it?s modern design
Black convertible top and the girls don?t mind
Sportin? with me riding all around town with joy
(no V chord here)

Step in my Rocket. Don?t be late
Cause we?re pulling out about half past eight
Go around the corner gonna get a fill
Everybody in my car?s gonna take a little nip
Move on out.  Movin? and cruisin? along

Here we go, here we go!

Go around the corner gonna get a fill
Everybody in my car?s gonna take a little nip
Move on out.  Movin? and cruisin? along

We gone y?all, we gone!
