I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock And Roll lyrics

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
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

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 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 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
