1. I remember when rock was young
Bm
Me and Suzy had so much fun
C
Holdin' hands and skimmin' stones
D
Had an old gold chevy and a place of my own.
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doin' a thing called Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rockin' round the clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock, well
Em
R: Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
A7
When your feet just can't keep still
D7
Never knew me a better time
G
And I guess I never will
E
Oh! Lordy mama, those Friday nights
A7
When Suzy wore her dresses tight
D7 C
Crocodile Rocking was ou-out of sight
G Em C D
La, la-la-la-la la, la-la-la-la la, la-la-la-la la,
2. But the years went by and rock just died
Suzy went and left me for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
Dreaming 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
