You may have heard of jalopies
You heard the noise they make
Let me introduce my Rocket 88
Yes, it's great, just won't wait
Everybody likes my Rocket 88
We'll ride in style boozin' and cruisin' 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
We're movin' all out, boozin' and cruisin' along
