I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll Well, the bride looked 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 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've then Well, I can see her now, in her tight blue jeans Pumpin' 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 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll Well, her proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best And so he put down a grand on a cosy little lover's nest You could've called her reception an unqualified success At a flash 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've 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, used to do the stroll I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll Well, I can see her now, with her Walkman on Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song I still remember when she used to want to make a lot of noise Hoppin' and a boppin' with the street corner boys She used to want to party, used to want to go I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to do the pony I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll I knew the bride when she used to wanna party I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n' roll
