I remember when rock was young 
Me and Suzie 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 Suzie wore her dresses tight 
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight 
 
But the years went by and the rock just died 
Suzie 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
