I remember when rock was young
|
Me and Suzie 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
|
|
But the years went by and the rock just died
|
Suzie went and left us 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've got
|
burning up to the Crocodile Rock
|
Learning fast as the weeks went past
|
we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
|
