I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock & Roll)
Well, the bride looked a picture in the gown that her mama woreWhen she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years beforeShe had to change the style a little but it looked just fineThey stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in timeNow on the arm of her daddy, she's a-walkin' down the aisleAnd she catches my eye and she gives me a secret smileMaybe it's too old-fashioned, but we once were close friendsOh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then.Well I can see her now in the tight blue jeansPumpin' all the money in the record machineSpinnin' like a top, you shoulda seen her goI knew the bride when she used to rock and roll [Repeat: x4]Now her proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the bestAnd so he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nestYou could've called the reception an unqualified successAt a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guestsTake a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pieShakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eyeHe got a real good job and his shirt and tie is niceBut I remember a time when she would never even look him twiceBut I can see her now drinkin' with the boysSongtexteBreakin' their hearts like they were toysShe used to do the pony, she used to do the strollI knew the bride when she used to rock and roll [Repeat: x4]Well I can see her now with her headphones onJumpin' up and down to her favorite songI still remember when she used to wanna make a lot of noiseHoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boysShe used to love to party, she used to love to goI knew the bride when she used to rock and roll [Repeat: x4]Hey!
