   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 had 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.  
                                    G -  Em - C - D
