I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holdin' hands and skimmin' stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock
We were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock
Well
Crocodile rockin' is something shockin'
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
And I guess I never will
Oh, lawdy mama!
Those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight and
The crocodile rockin' was out
Of sight
La
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we got
Burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
Well
Crocodile rockin' is something shockin'
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
And I guess I never will
Oh, lawdy mama!
Those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight and
The crocodile rockin' was out
Of sight
La
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
