I Got a Rocket In My Pocket - Jimmy Lloyd

I Got a Rocket In My Pocket - Jimmy Lloyd
2:22
single, 1958
Written by Jimmy Lloyd (as James Logsdon) and VicMcAlpin

This is pure rockabilly.  Look up rockabilly in the dictionary and this song starts playing.  "I got a rocket in my pocket and a roll in my walk / So, baby don't fuss me with that North Forty talk."  Boogie-woogie piano, a guitar twanging, and a yodeling, jittering hillbilly at the microphone.  You can practically hear the sly winking with all the innuendo in the lyrics ("I got a rocket in my pocket and a roll in my jeans").  This guy's fuse is lit.  Persoanlly I would keep a safe distance.
