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.

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.

About “Crocodile Rock”
- Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Crocodile Rock" suitable for a pianist?
- Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key G, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
- 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.
- Who wrote "Crocodile Rock"?
- "Crocodile Rock" was originally performed by Elton John. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
- What other backing tracks by Elton John are available?
- Other accompaniments by Elton John: "2 Fingers Of Whiskey", "A Good Heart", "Blue Eyes". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
- What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
- Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of G, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Crocodile Rock" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
- Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
- Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
- Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
- Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
