Intro
Verse 1
I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimmin' stones had a old gold Chevy & 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
Chorus
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 mamma those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight and
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight.
Interlude
Verse 2
But the years went by and rock just died, Susie went and left me for some foreign guy,
Long nights cryin' by the record machine dreamin' of my Chevy & my old blue jeans but they'll
Never kill the thrills we got burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
Learning fast as the weeks went past, we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
Chorus
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 mamma those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight and
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight.
Interlude
Verse 3

boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well
Chorus
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 mamma those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight and
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight.
