00:00Down by Corobo, rebuilt upon green and wild

00:12There's a legend of an old man, Crocodile

00:16Seventeen feet of scale at night

00:20Lurking in shadows, waiting for the night

00:25Me and my fourteen-foot tin boat

00:28Steady and strong

00:29Rolling through water, singing an old man's song

00:33Till old man Croc jumped off the bank so fast

00:38Into the lilies, gave a fight that would last

00:42I took a fast, my heart in my throat

00:46Paddling harder, faster in that tin boat

00:51Old man Crocodile with eyes so cold

00:55In the water lilies, stories are told

00:58His jaws were wide, his teeth like white blades

01:03In that moment felt the darkness of shakes

01:07The water ripped, the lilies did dance

01:11In Corobo, rebuilt upon green and a second chance

01:16Now when the wind whispers, I hear his tale

01:21Of old man Croc, covered in scales

01:25Been coming here, I'm coming here

01:26Been coming here for many long years

01:28In a tin boat filled with my fears

01:32I took a fast, I took a fast, my heart in my throat

01:38Paddling harder, faster in that tin boat

01:42Old man Crocodile with eyes so cold
