[G] I remember when rock was young, [Bm] me and Suzy had so much fun
[C] Holding hands and skimming stones, [Bm] had a knuckle [D] shim and a place of my own
[G] But the biggest gig I ever got, [Bm] was doing a thing called the crocodile
[C] While the other kids were rocking round the clock
[D] We were hopping, bopping to the crocodile rock
[Em] Well, crocodiles rock, the stones are shouting [A] when they feed those bandits still
[D] I never knew me about the time, [G] but I guess I'll live on well
