[Intro] 
G   G   Em   Em   C   C   D   D   

[verse 1]
     G                                 Bm
I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had so much fun
        C                                
Holding hands and skimmin' stones  
      D
I had a old gold Chevy & a place of my own
        G                                   Bm
But the biggest kick I ever got was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
          C                                                
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock 
        D
We were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well


[chorus]

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.
E                                        A7
Oh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7                               C
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight

[Intro]

[verse 2]
        G                                 Bm       
But the years went by and rock just died, Susie went & left me for some foreign guy
C     
Long nights cryin' by the record machine 
D
Dreamin' of my Chevy & my old blue jeans 
            G                                Bm
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
         C
Learning fast till the weeks went past, 
D
 We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
