Crocodile Roll Songtext
von John Williamson

Havin′ a bar-b by the river
With no one else around
A tropical honeymoon
Knocking a four-X down
She was standing in the water
Eating a pumpkin scone
When - ooh, splash, she was gone

And they were doin' the crocodile roll
The woman and the reptile
Doin′ the crocodile roll
In the middle of the river

Down came her husband
With a gun and a carving knife
To slaughter every crocodile
For taking his darling wife

You can't go 'round eating Queenslanders
You overgrown goannas
I′ll turn you all into shoes
- Ooh, splash


It was in the news
And they were doin′ the crocodile roll
The husband and the reptile
Doin' the crocodile roll
In the middle of the river

Down came his bloodhound
With mangy curly hair
Picked up the scent
Away he went
Arse in the air
Then the dog got carried away
And ran out on a log
When - guess what, no more dog

And they were doin′ the crocodile roll
The canine and the reptile
Doin' the crocodile roll
In the middle of the river

Down came a wild pig
Rootin′ all about
The little swine drank the wine
And really pigged it out
Then the crocodile chased him 'round
Then the little pig said, "Up yours!"
- Into another crocs jaws


And they were doin′ the crocodile roll
The porker and the reptile
Doing the crocodile roll
In the middle of the river

There's no moral to the story
Just a brand-new dance
Grab your partner by the neck
And swing your crocodile pants
Dip your toe in the water
Are you ready for romance?
Swirl your tail around the floor
Come on, take a chance

Now you're doin′ the crocodile roll
Stirring up the mud
Doin′ the crocodile roll
In the middle of the river

They were doin' the crocodile roll
Stirring up the mud crabs
Doin′ the crocodile roll
In the middle of the river
Ooh!
