Crocodile Rock

(album: Kindred Spirits - 2020)

Well, I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and skipping stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But, the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking 'round the clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

Croc Rocking is something shocking
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Lawdy mama, those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
The Crocodile Rocking was out of sight

Well, the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie 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've got
Burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast, as the weeks went past
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last (Hey!)

Croc Rocking is something shocking
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Lawdy mama, those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
The Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
Out of sight

I remember when rock was young
I remember when rock was young
