I remember when rock was young

Me and Susie had so much fun

Holding hands and skimming stones

Had an old gold Chevy, and a place of my own

But the biggest kick I ever got

Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock

While the other kids were rocking 'round the clock

We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock, well

Crocodile rocking is something shocking

When your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will

Oh, lawdy mama those Friday nights

When Suzie wore her dresses tight

And the Crocodile rocking was out of sight

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

But the years went by and the rock just died

Suzie went and left me for some foreign guy

Long nights crying by the record machine

Dreaming of my Chevy and old blue jeans

But they'll never kill the thrills we've got

Burning up to the Crocodile Rock

Learning fast as the weeks went past

We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well

Crocodile rocking is something shocking

When your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time and I guess, I never will

Oh, lawdy mama those Friday nights

When Suzie wore her dresses tight

Crocodile rocking was out of sight

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

I remember when rock was young

Me and Suzie had so much fun

Holding hands and skimming stones

Had an old gold Chevy, and place of my own

But the biggest kick I ever got

Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock

While the other kids were rocking 'round the clock

We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock, well

Crocodile rocking is something shocking

When your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time and I guess, I never will

Oh, lawdy mama those Friday nights

When Suzie wore her dresses tight

Crocodile rocking was out of sight

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa
