CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' Mamas & The Papas (#4,1966)
ALL THE LEAVES ARE BROWN AND THE SKY IS GRAY
I'VE BEEN FOR A WALK ON A WINTER'S DAY
I'D BE SAFE AND WARM IF I WAS IN L.A.
CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' ON SUCH A WINTER'S DAY
I STOPPED INTO A CHURCH I PASSED ALONG THE WAY
GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES AND I BEGAN TO PRAY
YOU KNOW THE PREACHER KNOWS IT'S COLD
HE KNOWS I'M GONNA STAY
CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' ON SUCH A WINTER'S DAY
ALL THE LEAVES ARE BROWN AND THE SKY IS GRAY
I'VE BEEN FOR A WALK ON A WINTER'S DAY
IF I DIDN'T TELL HER I COULD LEAVE TODAY
CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' ON SUCH A WINTER'S DAY

CROCODILE ROCK Elton John (#1,1973)
I REMEMBER WHEN ROCK WAS YOUNG
ME AND SUSIE HAD SO MUCH FUN
HOLDIN' HANDS AND SKIMMIN' STONES
HAD AN OLD GOLD CHEVY AND A PLACE OF HER OWN
BUT THE BIGGEST KICK I EVER GOT
WAS DOIN' A THING CALLED THE CROCODILE ROCK
WHILE THE OTHER KIDS WERE ROCKIN' ROUND THE CLOCK
WE WERE HOPPIN' AND BOPPIN' THE THE CROCODILE ROCK
CHORUS:
WELL, CRILE ROCKIN' IS SOMETHIN' SHOCKIN'
WHEN YOUR FEET JUST CAN'T STAND STILL
I NEVER KNEW ME A BETTER TIME
AND I GUESS I NEVER WILL
OH, LATE MAMA ON FRIDAY NIGHT
WHEN SUSIE WORE HER PANTS SO TIGHT
CRILE ROCKIN' WAS OU-OU-OUT OF SIGHT
NEA--NEA NEA NEA NEA NEA . . .
WELL THE YEARS WENT BY AND ROCK UP AND DIED
SUSIE WENT AND LEFT ME FOR SOME FOREIGN GUY
LONG NIGHTS CRYIN' BY THE RECORD MACHINE
DREAMIN' 'BOUT MY CHEVY AND HER OLD BLUE JEANS
BUT IT NEVER KILLED THE THRILL WE GOT
BURNIN' UP TO THE CROCODILE ROCK
HOLDIN' HANDS AS THE YEARS WENT PAST
WE REALLY THOUGHT THE CROCODILE ROCK WOULD LAST (chorus)

I WENT DOWN TO THE CROSSROADS--TRIED TO FLAG A RIDE
