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
Baby will ride in style
Movin' all along
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
(Blow your horn, Raymond, blow!)
Step in my Rocket and don't be late
Baby, we'll pulling out about half past eight
Go around the corner and get a fill
Everybody in my car's gonna take a little nip
Move on out, oozin' and cruisin' along
