LYRICS

Laa, la-da-da-da-daa. La-da-da-da-daa. La-da-da-da-daa. I remember when rock was young. Me and Susie had so much fun holdin' hands and skimmin' stones. We 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 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, the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight. Laa, la-da-da-da-daa. La-da-da-da-daa. La-da-da-da-daa.

But the years went by, and the rock just died. Susie went and left us 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, burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock, learnin' 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, the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight. Laa, la-da-da-da-daa. La-da-da-da-daa. La-da-da-da-daa.
