                  D                                                                                   G                                                                Bm

Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own.      But the biggest kick we ever got    was doin a thing called the Crocodile Rock

            C                                                                                      D                                                                                        Em

While other kids were rockin round the clock,     we were hoppin and boppin to the crocodile rock      Well

Oh   Lordy mama  those Friday nights     when Susie wore her dresses tight and     the crocodile rockin was out         of sight

But the years went by and rock just died,  Susie went and left us for some foreign guy

 C                                                                           D

Long nights crying by the record machine    dreamin of my Chevy and my old blue jeans

                     G                                                          Bm

But they'll never kill the thrills we got     burnin up to the crocodile rock

                C                                                                D                                                                                    Em

Learning fast as the weeks went past     we really thought the crocodile rock would last   Well

Crocodile Rockin is something shockin when your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will        Oh
