 Well, the bride looks a picture in the gown that her mama wore
 When she was married herself, nearly 27 years before
 They had to change the style a little, but it looked just fine
 Stayed up all night but then got it finished just in time
 Now on the arm of her daddy, she's walkin' down the isle
 I see her catch my eye and give me a secret smile
 Maybe it's too old-fashioned, but a-we once were close friends
 Oh, but the way that she looks today, she never could have then
 Well, I could see her now in her tight blue jeans
 Pumping all her money in the record machine
 Spinnin' like a top, you should have seen her go

 Well, a proud daddy only wanna 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 150 guests
 Well, take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie
 Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look at 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 playin' with toys
 She used to do the pony, used to do the stroll

 Well, I can see her now with her walk man on
 Jumpin' up and down to her favourite song
 I still remember when she used to wanna make a lot of noise
 Hopin' and a-boppin' with the street corner boys
 She used to wanna party, she used to wanna go
