I Knew The Bride (When She Use 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, the bride was a picture in the gown that her mama wore
 When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
 The 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 shoulda 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 posh 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 Harp ride
 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 wanta 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 do the pony
 I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
 I knew the bride when she used to wanta party
 I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
