I remember when rock was young Me and Suzie had so much fun Holding hands and skimmin’ stones Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing 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
But the years went by and the rock just died Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy Long nights cryin’ by the record machine Dreamin’ of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got Burning up to the Crocodile Rock Learning fast as the weeks went past We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
