G
I remember when rock was young,
Bm
me and Susie had so much fun,
C
Holding hands and skimmin' stones,
D
had a old gold Chevy & a place of my own.
G
But the biggest kick I ever got,
Bm
was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock.
C
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock,
D
we were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well.
Em
Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin',
A7
when your feet just can't keep still.
D7 G
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
E
Oh, Lawdy mamma, those Friday nights
A7
when Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7 C G - Em - C - D
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight
G
But the years went by and rock just died,
Bm
Susie went & left me for some foreign guy,
C
long nights cryin' by the record machine ,
D
dreamin' of my Chevy & my old blue jeans .
G
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got,
Bm
burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
C
learning fast till the weeks went past,
D
we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well.
