This is what I've got, but I would be obliged if anyone would correct.
Crocodile Rock.
I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones, had an old, old chevy and a place of my own
but the biggest kick we ever got, was doing a thing called the crocodile rock
while the other kids were rockin' round the clock
we were hoppin' and boppin' to the crocodile rock, well
Try rockin' a song that shockin' when your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
Mama, mama those friday nights when Susie wore dresses tight.
Crocodile rockin' was an hour of sigh. (?)
Then the years went by and rock just died,
Susie went and left with this false and foreign guy
long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming bout my chevy and my old blue jeans
but they never killed the thrills we got
burning up the crocodile rock
learning fast as the weeks went past
we really bopped the crocodile rock with blast...
While I'm at it,
I need the lyrics to the song 'falling in love' (correct name?) which was in
that Tom Sellec movie (with an eastern-europe actress).
I think it beginnes:
My arms? are getting heavy,
hard to live...
... baby I'm falling in love...
Help would be appreasiated.

I almost had a coronary reading your version of the lyrics. It was like
somebody misquoted the Bible! Sorry. I'm better now.

I'm awfully sorry, but I mainly posted it to get the right version so I'm
forgiven?
It can be hard to copy the lyrics from records, especially when english
isn't your native language. So I just thank you wery much for the trouble
of correcting them.
Good that you are better,
Gaukur.
(By the way, doesn't just about every religious group misquote the Bible?
At least all the other groups would say that!).
