Oh well-a, well-a, you changed your name to Abigail Rocket Blast
And then they lined you up for a Hollywood movie cast
With all those big cigars and motor cars
You thought you were a movie star
But Abigail Blast, you sure are changing fast
When you-a, you-a, you were just sixteen, you were knocking at 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, Rocket
I'm gonna launch you soon
Come on now, Rocket
You're gonna reach the moon
You're gonna take off soon
You're gonna reach the moon
You know your time will come
I'll give you three, two, one
Now, Rocket
I'm gonna launch you soon
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 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, Rocket
I'm gonna launch you soon
Come on now, Rocket
You're gonna reach the moon
You're gonna take off soon
You're gonna reach the moon
You know your time will come
I'll give you three, two, one
Now, Rocket
I'm gonna launch you soon
You're gonna take off soon
You're gonna reach the moon
You know your time will come
I'll give you three, two, one
Now, Rocket
I'm gonna launch you soon
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
