I remember when rock was young,
            Bm
me and Susie had so much fun
          C
holding hands and skimming stones
         D
had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
           G
but the biggest kick I ever got, 
                    Bm
was doing a thing called the crocodile rock
              C
while the other kids were rocking round the clock
               D
we were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock well,

Em
Crocodile rocking is something shocking 
                 A7
when your feet just cant keep still
D7
I never knew me a better time and I
G
guess I never will
E
Oh lawdy mama those Friday nights when
A7
Suzie wore her dresses tight and
D7                                         C
the crocodile rocking was out of sight
G Em C D

but the years went by and rock just died
Suzie went and left us for a foreign guy
long nights crying buy the record machine
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
but they never kill the thrills we got
burning up to the crocodile rock
learning fast till the weeks went passed
we really thought the crocodile rock would last, well
