I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock & Roll)

I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll Well, the bride was a picture in the gown that her mama wore When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before They had to change the style a little but it looked just fine Stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time Now on the arm of her daddy, she's walkin' down the aisle I see her catch my eye and give me a secret smile Maybe it's too old fashioned, but we once were close friends Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then Well, I can see her now in her tight blue jeans Stuffin' all her money in the record machine Spinnin' like a top, you should of seen her go I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll Well, the proud daddy only want to give his little girl the best So he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest You could have called the reception an unqualified success At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests Well, take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice But I remember a time when she never would have looked at him twice Well, I can see her now drinkin' with the boys Breakin' their hearts like they were toys She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll Well, I can see her now with her walk man on Struttin' up and down to her favorite song I still remember when she used to want to make a lot of noise Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys She used to wanna party, she used to wanna go I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to do the pony I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to want to party I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
