Crocodile Rock by Elton John

Hoo, yeah

I remember when Rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own

But the biggest kick I ever got
Doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rocking round the clock
We were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock

Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
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 Suzie wore her dresses tight
Crocodile Rocking was entirely out of sight

Come on, now
Laa, la la la la, laa
La la la la, laa
La la la la, laa

But the years went by, the Rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans

But they'll never kill the thrills we got
Burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last

Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
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 Suzie wore her dresses tight
Crocodile Rocking was almost out of sight

Come on, now
Laa, la la la la, laa
La la la la, laa
La la la la, laa

I remember when Rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming 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 rocking round the clock
We were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock

Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time, I guess I never will

Oh, Lawdy mama, those Friday nights
When Suzie wore those dresses tight
Crocodile Rocking was 'most out of sight

Laa, la la la la, laa
La la la la, laa
La la la la, laa

Laa, la la la la, laa
La la la la, laa
La la la la, laa

Laa, la la la la, laa
La la la la, laa
La la la la, laa
La la la la, laa

Hoo, yeah
