C C Am Am F F G G
[Verse 1]
I [C] remember when rock was young, me and [Em] Susie had so much fun
Holding [F] hands and skimmin' stones had a [G] old gold Chevy & a place of my own
But the [C] biggest kick I ever got was doin' a [Em] thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the [F] other kids were rockin' 'round the clock we were [G] hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well
[CHORUS]
[Interlude] - - - C C Am Am F F G G
[Verse 2]
But the [C] years went by and rock just died, [Em] Susie went and left me for some foreign guy,
[F] Long nights cryin' by the record machine [G] dreamin' of my Chevy & my old blue jeans but they'll
[C] Never kill the thrills we got. Burnin' [Em] up to the Crocodile Rock,
Learning [F] fast as the weeks went past, we really [G] thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
[CHORUS]
[Am] Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your [D7] feet just can't keep still
[G7] I never knew me a better time and I [C] guess I never will.
[A] Oh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights when [D7] Susie wore her dresses tight and
[G7] the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight. [ A# F A# F A# F ]
