What does it mean?
For a common Norwegian this seems like an greeting with no meaning in the first hand. Is it so? Sindre
 * It's just a rhyme: "later ... alligator"; "awhile ... crocodile". If you want a literal meaning it's simply, "Goodbye." 23skidoo 17:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah-ha, so it's Robert Guidry who I blame for the massive proliferation of this phrase, eh? I swear that every American child between the ages of four and six repeat this phrase over and over and over and over...  ekedolphin 09:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know if Guidry aka Bobby Charles exactly invented the phrase, but since he wrote the song that popularized it, he's as good a guy to blame as any! 23skidoo 12:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I always heard it as "In awhile crocodile"
 * It's possible that this is how the response was spoken in regular use, but both Charles and Haley clearly use "after 'while, crocodile" in their lyrics. 23skidoo 23:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" in "December" 1955?
Any source? Doesn't fit the timeline about ten weeks earlier? And, the Whole_Lotta_Shakin%27_Goin%27_On article says September - but, that too with no source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.90.167.225 (talk) 22:15, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
