Rocket 88

performed by James Cotton



You women have heard of jalopies; youÕve heard the noise they make

Let me introduce my new Rocket 88

Yeah sheÕs straight, just wonÕt wait. Everybody likes my Rocket 88

Babe weÕll ride in style movinÕ all along



A V8 motor baby; itÕs modern design

Black convertible top and the girls donÕt mind

SportinÕ with me riding all around town with joy

(no V chord here)

A V8 motor baby; itÕs modern design

Black convertible top and the girls donÕt mind

SportinÕ with me riding all around town with joy

(no V chord here)



Step in my Rocket. DonÕt be late

Cause weÕre pulling out about half past eight

Go around the corner gonna get a fill

Everybody in my carÕs gonna take a little nip

Move on out. MovinÕ and cruisinÕ along



Here we go, here we go!
