CROCODILE STOCK
Tune: Crocodile Rock by Elton John, Bernie Taupin
New Word by Al Boyce © 6/12/2002

I remember when Oz was young
Me mates and me had so much fun
Swimming laps and passing blokes
With the Australian Crawl and Butterfly strokes
But the biggest shock I ever got
was when Coach Davies stocked the pool with crocs
While kids in other pools were racing to the clock
we swam for our lives from the crocodile's maw!

CHORUS:
Well Crocodile stocking is something shocking
The "B" squad all got killed!
I never swam me a faster time and I guess I never will
Oh lawdy mama, we never knew
when Davies came back from the Reptile Zoo
and the Crocodile stocking was out of sight

But as weeks went by and more swimmers died
Coach Davies got threatened by official guys
So he sealed the croc's jaw with a roll of duct tape
And he clipped off his claws to lessen his scrape
But they'll never heal the wounds we got
Swimming fast from the crocodile stock
Said our namesake in Darwin town,
"The strongest will survive!", ...and the rest will drown!
