Crocodile Rock

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 Susie 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

Susie 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

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 Susie 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

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 Susie 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

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
