James Cotton - Rocket 88 lyrics



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)

[solos]

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!

[harp and horn riff]

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

We gone yÕall, we gone!

[harp and horn riff]
