My baby called me up
She said, "Why don't you ever take me out?
Pick me up in your brand new car
You shake the short change from your old fruit jar"
I put on my dancin' shoes
We headed straight for the rhythm and blues
The music was hot, but my baby was not
I've got a rocket in my pocket
I said a rocket
Finger in the socket
N.C.
Said, said rocket, said rocket
Don't understand that girl
No, I can't explain
She got one foot on the platform
And the other on the train
I've got a rocket in my pocket
I said a rocket
Finger in the socket
