I remGember when rock was young, me and BmSusie had so much fun
Holding Chands and skimmin' stones had a Dold gold Chevy & a place of my own
But the Gbiggest kick I ever got was doin' a Bmthing called the Crocodile Rock
While the Cother kids were rockin' 'round the clock we were Dhoppin' and
boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well
[chorus]
EmCrocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your A7feet just can't keep still
D7I never had me a better time and I Gguess I never will.
EOh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights when A7Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7the Crocodile Rockin' was out of Csight.......................................

[verse 2]
But the years went by and rock just died, Susie went & left me for some
foreign guy,
Long nights cryin' by the record machine dreamin' of my Chevy & my old
blue jeans but they'll
Never kill the thrills we've got burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
Learning fast till the weeks went past, we really thought the Crocodile
Rock would last, well
[chorus]
[verse 1]
