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 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
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
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
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 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
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 wanna party
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
