[Intro: Nelly Furtado]
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado]
I remember when rock was young
Gnomeo and Julie had so much fun
Gnomeo nights crying by the record machine
Had an old gold buggy 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

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
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
Eh! Everybody is feeling right
Because we're gonna dance all night
And the Crocodile Rocking was something of sight
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

[Post-Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa

[Verse 2: Nelly Furtado]
But the years went by and the rock never died
Juliet went and left Gnomeo for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
Cause 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

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Elton John]
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 Susie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

[Post-Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa

[Bridge: Nelly Furtado & Elton John]
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
Crocidile rocking
Crocidile rocking
Oh, rocking rocking rocking
Rocking rocking


[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Elton John]
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 Susie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

[Outro: Nelly Furtado]
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
