Intro: La..., la la la la la .... I never knew me a better time

la la la la la... Oh Lawdy mama those
D Bm B4(9) Bm
I remember when rock was young Fri day nights
F#m E7
Me and Suzie had so much fun when Suzie wore her dresses tight
G A7
holding hands and skimming stones and the Crocodile Rocking was
A out of sight
Had an old gold Chevy and a place G
of my own out of sight

D [Intro]
But the biggest kick I ever got
But the years went by and the rock
F#m just died
was doing a thing called the Crocodile
Suzie went and left us for some
Rock
G foreign guy
While the other kids were Rocking Long nights crying by the record
Round the Clock machine
A dreaming of my Chevy and my old
we were hopping and bopping to the
blue jeans
Crocodile Rock, well
But they’ll never kill the thrills
(Ref) we’ve got
Bm B4(9) Bm B4(9) burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Crocodile Ro cking is Learning fast as the weeks went past
Bm B4(9) Bm we really thought the Crocodile Rock
something shocking would last
E7
when your feet just can’t keep still [Ref]
