OP didn't even choose the bleakest line of Jack & Diane, which is:
"Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee-Freez"

I remember when rock was youngMe and Suzie had so much funHolding hands and skimmin' stonesHad an old gold Chevy and a place of my ownBut the biggest kick I ever gotWas doing a thing called the crocodile rockWhile the other kids were rockin' round the clockWe were hoppin' and boppin' to the crocodile rock
But the years went by and the rock just diedSuzie went and left us for some foreign guyLong nights crying by the record machineDreaming of my hevy and my old blue jeansBut they'll never kill the thrills we've gotBurnin' up to the crocodile rockLearnin' fast as the weeks went pastWe really thought the crocodile rock would last
Crocodile-rockin' is something shockin'When your feet just can't keep stillI never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
