1. I remember when rock was young,
Me and Suzy 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 Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rockin' round the clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock, well

R: Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
When your feet just can't keep still
Never knew me a better time
And I guess I never will
Oh! Lordy mama, those Friday nights
When Suzy wore her dresses tight
Crocodile Rocking was ou-out of sight

La, la-la-la-la la, la-la-la-la la, la-la-la-la la,

2. But the years went by and rock just died
Suzy went and left me 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 got
Burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the Crocodile rock would last, well
