I remember when rock was young Me and Susie had so much fun Holding hands and skimming 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
Well, Crocodile 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 Oh, lawdy mama, those Friday nights When Susie wore her dresses tight And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
Susie went and left us 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
Well, Crocodile 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 Oh, lawdy mama, those Friday nights When Susie wore her dresses tight And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa

Je me souviens quand le rock était jeune Suzie et moi nous nous amusions tellement A se tenir par la main et a effleurer les pierres J´avais une vielle Chevrolet dorée et un endroit bien à moi (un appartement)
Mais le plus grand plaisir que j´ai jamais eu C´était de faire un chose qui s´appelle le Rock Crocodile Pendant que les autres faisait le Rock Around the Clock (nom d´une chanson de Bill Haley) On dansait et on s´agitait en écoutant le Rock Crocodile
Eh bien faire le Rock Crocodile c´est quelque chose de choquant Quand vos pieds ne peuvent pas rester en place Je n´ai jamais connu un meilleur moment et je suppose que je n´en connaîtrai jamais d´autre Oh mon Dieu, maman ces vendredi soirs Quand Suzie portait des jupes serrées Et le Crocodile Rock était hors de vue
Mais les années ont passé et le rock à disparu
Suzie s´en est allée et nous à quitté pour un étranger Des nuits entières à pleurer près de l´électrophone A rêver de ma Chevrolet et de mes vieux blue jeans Mais ils ne tueront jamais les sensations que nous avions ressenties En nous consumant au Rock Crocodile Apprenant vite quand les semaines défilaient Nous croyions bien que le Rock Crocodile allait durer
