My baby called me up 
           A7            D      A
She said, "Why don't you ever take me out? 
    A7  D      A             E
Pick me up in your brand new car 
               D                     B          E
You shake the short change from your old fruit jar" 
    A7     D      A
I put on my dancin' shoes 
A7         D         A                E
We headed straight for the rhythm and blues

The music was hot, but my baby was not

Rocket, said rocket, said rocket, said rocket, said rocket, said rocket 
  
Don't understand that girl, I can't explain 
She got one foot on the platform, the other on the train 
I got a rocket in my pocket, yeah I said rocket 
Finger in the socket
