I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of our own
But the biggest kick I ever got, was doin' a thing called the crocodile rock
While the other kids were Rocking 'Round the Clock
we were hopping and bopping to the crocodile rock
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
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 Susie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
Laahh la la la la laahh
La la la la laahh
La la la la laahh
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left me for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming 'bout 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
Yeah
Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
and I guess I never will
Wow Oh lordy mama those Friday nights
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
And Crocodile Rocking was-a out of sigh -igh -igh -ight
Laahh la la la la laahh
La la la la laahh
La la la la laahh

Laahh la la la la laahh
