Author: Bernie Taupin
Composer: Elton John
Intro:
|
G C F#
|
G Em C D
|
|
G
|
I remember when rock was young
|
Bm
|
Me and Susie had so much fun
|
C
|
Holding hands and skimming stones
|
D
|
Had an old gold Chevy
|
|
And a place of my own
|
G
|
But the biggest kick I ever got
|
Bm
|
Was doing a thing called
|
|
The Crocodile Rock
|
C
|
While the other kids were
|
|
Rocking 'round the clock
|
D
|
We were hopping and bopping
|
To the Crocodile Rock
|
Em
|
Well Crocodile rockin is something
|
|
Shocking
|
A
|
When your feet just cant keep still
|
D
|
I never knew me a better
|
G
|
Time and I guess I never will
|
Em
|
Oh lawdy mama those Friday nights
|
A
|
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
|
D
|
And the Crocodile rocking
|
F
|
Was out of sight
|
G
|
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa
|
Em
|
La-la-la-la-laa
|
C D
|
La-la-la-la-laa
|
G
|
But the years went by and
|
|
The rock just died
|
Bm
|
Suzie went and left me for
|
|
Some foreign guy
|
C
|
Long nights crying by the
|
|
Record machine
|
D
|
Dreaming of my Chevy and
|
|
Old blue jeans
|
G
|
But they'll never kill the
|
|
Thrills we've got
|
Bm
|
Burning up to the Crocodile Rock
|
|
Learnin fast as the weeks went past
|
The Crocodile Rock would last
|
Chorus:
|
|
Em
|
Well Crocodile rockin is something
|
|
Shocking
|
A
|
When your feet just
|
Can't keep still
|

|
I never knew me a better
|

|
Time and I guess I never will
