Crocodile (Крокодил) was first sung on Golden Nightingale in 1972 by Hedija Lekovikj. The lyrics were written by Kosara Gochkova. The music and arrangement were done by Ljubomir Brangjolica.
The song is very catchy and popular among children since children are easily fascinated with the animal kingdom.
Крокодил
Го однеле во базен
Од синиот Нил
Оди, оди славен
Нилски крокодил.
Реката му била
најголем царски трон
Од него се плашел
нилскиот коњ.
Рефрен 2Х
Ах тој крокодил,
страшен крокодил.
Радосен би бил
Да е цар на Нил.
Зоо паркот велат
многу страшен бил
Мечтаел во сонот
Да е цар на Нил.
Реката му била
најголем царски трон
Од него се плашел
нилскиот коњ.
Рефрен 2Х
Ах тој крокодил,
страшен крокодил.
Радосен би бил
Да е цар на Нил.
Crocodile
They took him to a pool
All the way from the Nile blue
Here he comes in style
The famous Nile crocodile.
The river was
His biggest royal throne
Even the hippopotamus
Was scared of him to the bone.
Chorus 2X
Oh that crocodile,
Scary crocodile
He would joyous be
If the Nile king he could be.
In the zoo park they say
Lots of fear he portrayed
He was dreaming a lot
The Nile king to become he ought.
The river was
His biggest royal throne
Even the hippopotamus
Was scared of him to the bone.
Chorus 2X
Oh that crocodile,
Scary crocodile
He would joyous be
If the Nile king he could be.
