Lyrics - Rocket '88 by Bill Haley

You may have heard of jalopies,
You heard the noise they make,
Let me introduce you to my
Rocket '88.
Yes it's great, just won't wait,
Everybody likes my
Rocket '88.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.(
Guitar solo, leading into steel guitar solo.)
V-8 motor and this modern design,
My convertible top and the gals don't mind
Sportin' with me, ridin' all around town for joy.(
Spoken) --
Blow your horn,
Rocket, blow your horn!(
Horn sound effect leading into guitar solo.)
Step in my
Rocket and-a don't be late,
We're pullin' out about a half-past-eight.
Goin' on the corner and-a havin' some fun,
Takin' my
Rocket on a long, hot run.
Ooh, goin' out,
Oozin' and cruisin' along.(
Guitar solo.)
Now that you've ridden in my
Rocket '88,
I'll be around every night about eight.
You know it's great, don't be late,
Everybody likes my
Rocket '88.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.(
Fade out, ending with sound effect of a car driving away.)
