hold ing hands and skim ming stones.
Had an old punch Bug gie by the place that they owned.
But the big gest kick they ev er got

While the oth er kids were rock in’ ’round the clock, they were hop pin’ and bop pin’ to the Croc o dile Rock.
Hey!

(Bb)Hey, ev ’ry bod y is feel in’ right be (Cm7)cause we’re gon na dance all night.
The Croc o dile rock in’ is some thin’ out of sight.

As the years went by and the rock nev er died, Ju liet nev er left us for some for eign guy.
No nights cry in’ by the rec ord ma chine, dream in’ of my Bug gie and my old blue jeans.
’Cause I’ll nev er kill the thrills we got,
burn ing up to the Croc o dile Rock, learn ing fast as the weeks go past,
’cause they know the Croc o dile Rock is gon na last.
