When the shades are drawn
And the light of the moon is banned
And the stars up above
Walk the heavens hand in hand
There's a shady place
At the end of the working day
Where young lovers go
And this hot little trio plays
That's where we meet
That's where we meet
Me and you rendezvous
In the club at the end of the street
Oooh where we meet
Oooh where we meet
Me and you rendezvous
In the club at the end of the street
From the alleyways
Where the catwalks gently sway
You hear the sound of Otis
And the voice of Marvin Gaye
In this smoky room
There's a jukebox plays all night
And we can dance real close
Beneath the pulse of a neon light
There's a downtown smell of cooking
From the flame on an open grill
There's a sax and a big bass pumping
Lord have mercy
You can't sit still
You can't sit still
Crocodile rock
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
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
Daniel
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain, ooh and
I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel; must be the clouds in my eyes.
They say Spain is pretty, though I've never been
But Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen, ooh and
He should know 'cause he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel; oh I miss him so much
Chorus
Ooh Daniel my brother, you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died, but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky.
I miss Daniel; I miss him so much
Chorus
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red taillights heading for Spain, ooh and
I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God, it looks like Daniel; must be the clouds in my eyes.
Oh God, it looks like Daniel; must be the clouds in my eyes.
