Artist/Band: Dave Edmunds
Lyrics for Song: I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock & Roll)
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Dave Edmunds



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 [Repeat: x4]





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 [Repeat: x4]





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 [Repeat: x4]


Hey!
