Well, the bride looked a picture in the gown that her mama wore |
|
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before |
|
She had to change the style a little but it looked just fine |
|
They stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time |
|
Now on the arm of her daddy, she's a-walkin' down the aisle |
|
And she catches my eye and she gives 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 the tight blue jeans |
|
Pumpin' all the 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 |
|
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll |
|
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll |
|
Now her proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best |
|
And so he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest |
|
You could've called the reception an unqualified success |
|
At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests |
|
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 would never even look him twice |
|
But 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 headphones on |
|
Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song |
|
I still remember when she used to wanna make a lot of noise |
|
Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys |
|
She used to love to party, she used to love to 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 |
|
Hey! |
