Crocodile Rock

1. I remember when rock was young,
   Bm
   Me and Suzy had so much fun
   C
   Holdin' hands and skimmin' stones
   D
   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

   Em
R: Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
   A7
   When your feet just can't keep still
   D7
   Never knew me a better time
   G
   And I guess I never will
   E
   Oh! Lordy mama, those Friday nights
   A7
   When Suzy wore her dresses tight
   D7        C
   Crocodile Rocking was ou-out of sight

G   Em              C               D
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
