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

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
