Lyrics

Rocket

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Spoken: Now this here's the story of Abigail Rocket-Blast.

Just wanna tell you

Well, well you changed your name to Abigail Rocket-Blast

And then they lined you up for a Hollywood movie cast

With all them big cigars and motor cars

You thought you was a movie star

But Abigail Blast you sure are changing fast

You, you, you were just sixteen you were knocking on the agent's door

Because, because, because the silver screen is what a movie queen lives for

They gave you minks and dreams in pinks and greens

You threw away your old blue jeans

But Abigail Blast they're using you

Come on, come on, come on now

Chorus

Rocket

I'm gonna launch you soon

C'mon now Rocket

You're gonna reach the moon

You're gonna take off soon, you're gonna reach the moon

You know your time'll come

I'll give you 3-2-1!

Now Rocket, I'm gonna launch you soon

Second verse

I saw you sitting in the soda store where all the cast-off Stardust falls.

Where they write their names on the floor and hang their photographs on the walls.

Oh but to me you've still got sweet sixteen

written on your old blue jeans.

I'm getting rid of Abigail Blast

I'll call you Rocket, forget the past.

Come on, come on, come on, come on now

Chorus

Break

You're gonna take off soon, you're gonna reach the moon

You'll know when your time has come

I'll give you 3 - 2 - 1!

Now Rocket, I'm gonna launch you soon

Come on, come on, now Rocket

I'm gonna launch you soon.

Come on, come on, come on, come on now Rocket

You're gonna reach the moon

Come on, come on, come on now Rocket

I'm gonna launch you soon

Well, well, well Rocket

I'm gonna launch you soon
