[Verse 1]
     C                                    Em
I remember when rock was young,    me and Susie had so much fun
        F                                G
Holding hands and skimmin' stones  had a old gold Chevy & a place of my own
        C                                      Em
But the biggest kick I ever got    was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
          F                                                G
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock we were hoppin' and
 
boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                                                D7
Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still
G7                                 C
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
A                                        D7
Oh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight and
G7                               A# F A# F A# F
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight.

[Verse 2]
        C                                 Em
But the years went by and rock just died, Susie went and left me for some foreign guy,
F                                        G
Long nights cryin' by the record machine dreamin' of my Chevy & my old blue jeans but they'll
C                                        Em
Never kill the thrills we got    burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
         F                                        G
Learning fast as the weeks went past, we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
