Crocodile Rock

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album don't shoot me i'm only the piano player



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 doing a thing called the crocodile rock

While the other kids were rocking round the clock

We were hopping and bopping 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

And the crocodile rocking was out of sight





But the years went by and 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've got

Burning up to the crocodile rock

Learning fast as the weeks went past

We really thought the crocodile rock would last
