I re mem ber when rock was young,
me and Su sie had so much fun.
Hold ing hands and skim ming stones.
Had an old gold Che vy and a place of my own.
But the big gest kick I ev er got
was do ing a (Bm)thing call the Cro co dile Rock.
While the o ther kids were rock ing round the clock we were hop ping and bop ping to the Cro co dile Rock.
Well, (Em)Cro co dile (D)rock (Em)ing (D)is (Em)some (D)thing (Em)shock (D)ing (Em)when your (A)feet just can’t keep still.
I nev er knew me a bet ter time and I guess I nev er will.
Oh, Lord y Ma ma, those Fri day nights when (A)Su sie wore her dress es tight and the Cro co dile rock ing was out of the (F)sight.

la la la la (Em)la.
La la la la (C)la.
La la la la (D)la.
But the years went by and rock just died.
went and left us for some for eign guy.
Long nights cry ing by the re cord ma chine, dream ing of my my old blue jeans.
But they’ll er kill the thrills we
burn up to
Learn ing fast as the weeks went past,
real ly that Cro co dile Rock would last.
(Em)Cro co dile (D)rock (Em)ing (D)is (Em)some (D)thing (Em)shock (D)ing (Em)when your (A)feet just can’t keep still.

About “Crocodile Rock”
- Why does the accompaniment for "Crocodile Rock" show falling notes?
- Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
- What key is the piano accompaniment for "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John in?
- The backing track is in G at 148 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
- Can I sing over "Crocodile Rock" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
- Is this a karaoke version of "Crocodile Rock"?
- Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Crocodile Rock", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
- Can I use "Crocodile Rock" as a backing track for my instrument?
- Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.

- Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.

- Can I use "Crocodile Rock" as a backing track for singing?
- Yes — this is the piano accompaniment for Crocodile Rock by Elton John, with the chord notes falling visually so you can see exactly when each chord lands. Original key is G; transpose live to fit your voice.
