Lyrics

Ooh yeah
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holdin' hands and skippin' stones
Had an old gold Chevy and 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
Crocodile rockin' is somethin' shockin'
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 uh
Crocodile rockin' was out of sight
C'mon now
(Laa, la-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights cryin' by the record machine
Dreamin' of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we got
Burnin' up to the crocodile rock
Learnin' fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the crocodile rock would last, well
Crocodile rockin' is somethin' shockin'
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 rockin' was out of sight
C'mon
(Laa, la-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holdin' hands and skimmin' stones
Had an old gold Chevy and 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
Crocodile rockin' is somethin' shockin'
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
Crocodile rockin' was out of sight
(Laa, la-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
(Laa, la-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
(Laa, la-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
(La-la-la-la-laa)
Ooh yeah
