Here goes to the best of my recollection, hope this is close enuff:

You heard of those dirty jalopies, you heard of the noise they make,
let me reintroduce my new Rocket 88, yeah she's straight, just won't
wait, everbody likes my Rocket 88, Ride with me all round town in joy.

S'got a V-8 motor baby Black in design, Black convertible top and the
girls don't mind, Ride around the corner gonna get a fifth-everybody in
my car's gonna take a little nip...........


I think that's the crux of it...hope this helps,,,the song is by Jackie
Brenston who had a small hit with it in the 50's.
