Greg, according to my Dad, it's definitely the first! That's his "dream car", period! I wish I had the bucks to snag him one so he could have some fun while he still can...

BILL HALEY LYRICS
ROCKET '88 LYRICS

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.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.

(Guitar solo, leading into steel guitar solo.)

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.
(Spoken) -- Blow your horn, Rocket, blow your horn!

(Horn sound effect leading into guitar solo.)

Step in my Rocket and-a don't be late,
We're pullin' out about a half-past-eight.
Goin' on the corner and-a havin' some fun,
Takin' my Rocket on a long, hot run.
Ooh, goin' out,
Oozin' and cruisin' along.

(Guitar solo.)

Now that you've ridden in my Rocket '88,
I'll be around every night about eight.
You know it's great, don't be late,
Everybody likes my Rocket '88.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.

(Fade out, ending with sound effect of a car driving away.)

Bill Haley did that song but the original was done by a black guy, just can't recall his name.

Lyrics were a little different, too.

There was a line that went: "Everybody's Gonna Take a Little Pill"[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

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!

Between the car &amp; the old song... ya'll got me. This is a sweet ride. I'll admit, I still own my first car... '68 H/O
