1. I remember when rock was young, 
            Em
    me and Susie had so much fun,
             C                              
    Holding hands and skimmin' stones,
           D/F#
    had a old gold Chevy and a place of my own.
            G                           
2. But the biggest kick I ever got,
                  Em
    was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock.
               C                                                    
    While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock,
             D/F#
    we were hoppin' and  boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well.
  Em                                                
    Crock Rockin' is something shockin',
               A7
    when your feet just can't keep still.
D7                                      G
    I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
E                                                
    Oh, Lawdy mamma, those Friday nights 
          A7
    when Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7                                    C         G - Em - C - D    
    the Crockdile Rockin' was out of sight

            G                          
3. But the years went by and rock just died, 
           Em
    Susie went and left me for some  foreign guy,
     C                                   
    long nights cryin' by the record machine ,
      D/F#
    dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans .
                G                                      
4. But they'll never kill the thrills we've got,
             Em
     burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
              C                             
    learning fast till the weeks went past, 
                D/F#
    we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well.
                                    G -  Em - C - D
