IKE TURNER
"Rocket 88"
(Jackie Brenston / Ike Turner)

You women have heard of jalopies
You've heard the noise they make
But let me re-introduce my new Rocket '88
Yes, it's straight, just won't wait
Everybody likes my Rocket '88
Baby, we'll ride in style
Movin' all along

V-8 motor and this modern design
Black convertible top and the gals don't mind
Sportin' with me, ridin' all around town for joy
Blow your horn, baby, blow

[Saxophone solo]

Step in my Rocket and don't be late
Baby, we're pullin' out about a half-past eight
Goin' 'round the corner and get a beer
Everybody in my car is gonna take a little nip
Move on out, oozin' and cruisin' along
