I remember when rock was young,
me and Suzy had so much fun,
holding hands and skimmin' stones,
had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own.

But the biggest kick I ever got
was doin' a thing called the crocodile rock.
While the other kids were rockin' round the clock
we were hoppin' and boppin' to the crocodile rock.

Well, crocodile rockin' is something shockin'
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 Suzy wore her dresses tight,
and the crocodile rockin' was out of sight.

But the years went by and rock just died,
Suzy went and left me for some foreign guy,
long nights cryin' by the record machine,
dreamin' 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 till the week's went past,
we really thought, the crocodile rock would last.

Well, crocodile rockin' is something shockin'
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 Suzy wore her dresses tight,
and the crocodile rockin' was out of sight.
