Crocodile Rock
(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)
G
I remember when rock was young
Bm
Me and Suzie 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 Rocking is something shocking
A7
when your feet just can't keep still
D7 G
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
E
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
A7
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
D7 C
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
