Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][F#]
[G][Em][C][D]

[Verse 1]
I re[G]member when rock was young
Me and [Bm]Suzie had so much fun
Holding [C]hands and skimming stones
Had an [D]old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the [G]biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a [Bm]thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the [C]other kids were
Rocking Round the Clock
We were [D]hopping and bopping to the
Crocodile Rock

[Chorus 1]
[Em]Well Crocodile Rocking is
something shocking
When your [A]feet just can't keep still
[D]I never knew me a better time
and I [G]guess I never will
[E]Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
When [A]Suzie wore her dresses tight
And [D]the Crocodile Rocking was out of
[F]sight[C][F][C][F][C]

[Interlude 1]
[G]La lalalala [Em]la lalalala la[C] lalalala la[D]

[Verse 2]
But the [G]years went by and the rock just died
[Bm]Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
[C]Long nights crying by the record machine
[D]Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll [G]never kill the thrills we've got
Burning [Bm]up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning [C]fast as the weeks went past
We really [D]thought the
Crocodile Rock would last

[Chorus 2]
[Em]Well Crocodile Rocking is
something shocking
When your [A]feet just can't keep still
[D]I never knew me a better time
and I [G]guess I never will
[E]Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
When [A]Suzie wore her dresses tight
And [D]the Crocodile Rocking was out of
[F]sight[C][F][C][F][C]

[Interlude 2]
[G]La lalalala [Em]la lalalala la[C] lalalala la[D]

[Verse 3]
I re[G]member when rock was young
Me and [Bm]Suzie had so much fun
Holding [C]hands and skimming stones
Had an [D]old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the [G]biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a [Bm]thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the [C]other kids were
Rocking Round the Clock
We were [D]hopping and bopping to the
Crocodile Rock

[Chorus 3]
[Em]Well Crocodile Rocking is
something shocking
When your [A]feet just can't keep still
[D]I never knew me a better time
and I [G]guess I never will
[E]Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
When [A]Suzie wore her dresses tight
And [D]the Crocodile Rocking was out of
[F]sight[C][F][C][F][C]

[Outro 1]
[G]La lalalala [Em]la lalalala la[C] lalalala la[D]
[G]La lalalala [Em]la lalalala la[C] lalalala la[D]
[G]La lalalala [Em]la lalalala la[C] lalalala la[D]
[Fade out]
