Crocodile Rock Lyrics

[Intro]
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, a rising star in rock and roll
Please welcome, all the way from London, England, Elton John!"

[Verse 1]
I remember when rock was young
Me and Susie had so much fun
Holdin' hands and skimmin’ stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rockin' ’round the clock
We were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock

[Chorus]
Well, Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin'
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will
Oh, lawdy mama, those Friday nights
When Susie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight

[Outro]
La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
