(verse I)
C Em
I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had so much fun.
F
Holding hands and skimmin stones,
G
we had an old gold Chevy and a place of our own.
C
But the biggest kick I ever got,
Em
was doin a thang called the crocodile rock.
F
While the other kids were rockin round the clock,
G
we were hoppin an boppin to the crocodile rock.
Chorus...
Am
Well crocodile rockin is something shockin,
D7
when your feet just can't keep still.
G7 C
I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will.
A
Oh lawdy mama, those friday nights,
D7
when Susie wore her dresses tight,
G7 C
and the crocodile rockin was out of sight.
C Em F G
Laa, la, la la, la, laa. La, la, la, la, laa. La, la, la, la, laa.
(verse II)
C
But the years went by and the rock just died.
Em
Susie went and left us for a foreign guy.
F
Long nights crying by the record machine,
G
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans.
C
But they'll never kill the thrills we got,
Em
burning up to the crocodile rock.
F
Learning fast as the weeks went past,
G
we really thought the crocodile rock would last.
