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

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
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.
