Intro:

F# A#m B  C#

Verse 1:
    F#                                 A#m
I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had so much fun
        B
Holdin' hands and skimmin stones,
       C#
had an old gold Chevy and a place of our own
        F#
But the biggest kick I ever got,
            A#m
was doin' a thing called the crocodile rock
          B
While the other kids were rockin' round the clock,
        C#
we were hoppin' an boppin' to the crocodile rock

Chorus:
      F#
Well
crocodile rockin' is somethin' shockin,
          D#m
when your feet just can't keep still.
B                                C#
   I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will.
F#
Oh lawdy mama, those Friday nights,
     D#m
when Susie wore her dresses tight,
B                                    C#
   and the crocodile rockin' was out of sight.


Post-Chorus:
F#                  D#m
Laa, la, la la, la, laa
                B                    C#
la, la, la, la, laa  la, la, la, la, laa


Verse 2:
        F#
But the years went by and the rock just died.
A#m
Susie went and left us for a foreign guy.
B
Long nights crying by the record machine,
C#
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans.
            F#
But they'll never kill the thrills we got,
        A#m
burning up to the crocodile rock.
         B
Learning fast as the weeks went past,
          C#
we really thought the crocodile rock would last.


Chorus:
      F#
Well
crocodile rockin' is somethin' shockin,
          D#m
when your feet just can't keep still.
B                                C#
   I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will.
F#
Oh lawdy mama, those Friday nights,

la, la, la, la, laa  la, la, la, la, laa
