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, 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 [Repeat: x4]



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 [Repeat: x4]

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
