G   
   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 knew 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
