Crocodile Rock
70s Chartstarz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me and Suzie 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 Suzie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
La lalalala la lalalala la lalalala la
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie 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 Suzie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
La lalalala la lalalala la lalalala la
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie 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 Suzie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
La lalalala la lalalala la lalalala la
La lalalala la lalalala la lalalala la
La lalalala la lalalala la lalalala la
The lyrics of "Crocodile Rock" by 70s Chartstarz reminisces about the good old days of adolescence when the singer, together with his friend Suzie, used to have a great time. They used to go out to hop and bop to the music of the "Crocodile Rock" while others rocked around the clock. The Crocodile Rock was a particular style of dance that was popularized in the 70s. The singer recalls that the biggest kick they ever got was from doing the Crocodile Rock dance. When they danced, their feet just couldn't keep still. The Friday nights they went out dancing were always the best, and Suzie wore her tight dresses, and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight.
The song also recognizes the changes that happened over time. As the years went by, the rock music they knew and loved began to fade, and Suzie left with a foreign guy, leaving the singer crying alone with his vinyls. Despite the losses, the memories of the Crocodile Rock dance that the singer shared with Suzie were unforgettable. They will never lose the thrills they experienced from the dance. The song talks about how they will always cherish the memories and how they really thought that the Crocodile Rock would last forever.

I remember when rock was young
I recall a time when rock music was new and exciting
Me and Suzie had so much fun
My friend Suzie and I enjoyed ourselves greatly
Holding hands and skimming stones
We went hand in hand and skipped stones along the water
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
I owned a golden-colored Chevrolet and a home
But the biggest kick I ever got
The most thrilling experience I had
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
Was participating in a dance called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
While other kids were dancing to Rock Around the Clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
We were energetically dancing to the Crocodile Rock
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
Dancing to the Crocodile Rock is extremely thrilling
When your feet just can't keep still
The dance makes it impossible for you to stop moving your feet
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
I can't imagine anything better than that time in my life
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
Those Friday nights were amazing
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
When Suzie wore her tight dresses
And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
And people were dancing to the Crocodile Rock with great enthusiasm
La lalalala la lalalala la lalalala la
Vocalization of music
But the years went by and the rock just died
As years passed, rock music lost its popularity
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Suzie left to be with a man from another country
Long nights crying by the record machine
I spent many nights crying beside my record player
Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
I longed for my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
But nothing can take away the excitement we once had
Burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Still passionate about dancing to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
Growing and changing quickly week by week
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
We believed that the Crocodile Rock would remain popular forever
