I remember when rock was young,
Me and Su sie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimmin'stones
Had a o ld gold Chevy 'a place of my own.
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doin'a thi ng called the Crocodile Rock.
While the other kids were rockin''round the clock
We were h oppin'and boppin'to the Crocodile Rock, well.
Crocodile Rockin'is something shockin',
When your f eet just can't keep still
I never had me a better time and I guess I never will.
Oh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights
When S usie wore her dresses tight and
The Crocodile Rockin'was out of sight.
But the ye ars went by and rock just died,
Susie we nt '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'u p to the Crocodile Rock,
Learning f ast till the weeks went past,
We really t hought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
