| Well, the bride looks a picture in the gown that her mama wore
|
| She was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
|
| They had to change the style a little, but it looked just fine
|
| Stayed up all night, but got it finished just in time
|
| And 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 machines
|
| 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' as pleased as pie
|
| He’s shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye
|
| He’s 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' all 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 '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 headphones on
|
| Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song
|
| 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, she 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 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 |
