Verse 1:
G Bm
I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had so much fun
C D
Holding hands and skimmin' stones had a old gold Chevy & a place of my own
G Bm
But the biggest kick I ever got was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
C D
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock we were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well
Chorus:
Em A7
Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still
D7 G
I never had me a better time and I guess I never will.

foreign guy,
C D
Long nights cryin' by the record machine dreamin' of my Chevy & my old
blue jeans but they'll
G Bm
Never kill the thrills we've got burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
C D
Learning fast as the weeks went past, we really thought the Crocodile
Rock would last, well
