I remEember when rock was young
Me and G#mSusie had so much fun
Holding Ahands and skimmin’ stones
Had a Bold gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the Ebiggest kick I ever got
Was doin’ a G#mthing called the Crocodile Rock
While the Aother kids were rockin’ ‘round the clock
We were Bhoppin’ and boppin’ to the Crocodile Rock, well
C#mCrocodile Rockin’ is something shockin’ when your
F#7Feet just can’t keep still
B7I never knew me a better time and I Eguess I never will
C#Oh, lordy mamma those Friday nights when
F#7Susie wore her dresses tight and
B7The Crocodile Rockin’ was out of’a Asight
ELa, la la la la
C#mLa, la la la la
ALa, la la la la
BLa
But the Eyears went by and rock just died
G#mSusie went and left me for some foreign guy
ALong nights cryin’ by the record machine
BDreamin’ of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they’ll Enever kill the thrills we’ve got
Burnin’ G#mup to the Crocodile Rock
Learning Afast as the weeks went past
We really Bthought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
C#mCrocodile Rockin’ is something shockin’ when your
F#7Feet just can’t keep still
B7I never knew me a better time and I Eguess I never will
C#Oh, lordy mamma those Friday nights when
F#7Susie wore her dresses tight and
B7The Crocodile Rockin’ was out of’a Asight
ELa, la la la la
C#mLa, la la la la
ALa, la la la la
BLa
With harmony
I remEember when rock was young
Me and G#mSusie had so much fun
Holding Ahands and skimmin’ stones
Had a Bold gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the Ebiggest kick I ever got
Was doin’ a G#mthing called the Crocodile Rock
While the Aother kids were rockin’ ‘round the clock
We were Bhoppin’ and boppin’ to the Crocodile Rock, well
C#mCrocodile Rockin’ is something shockin’ when your
