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”
- Can I sing "Crocodile Rock" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?

- 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.

- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
- It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
- Can I change the key of "Crocodile Rock" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in G, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.

- Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
