Well the bride looked a picture

In the gown that her mama wore

When she was married herself

Nearly 27 years before

They ad to change the style a little

But It looked just fine

Stayed up ail night

But they got it finished just in time

?r>
Now on the arm of her daddy

She's walkin' down the aisle

l see her catch my eye

And give me a secret smiie

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

?r>
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

?r>
* I knew the bride

When she used to rock'n'roll

l knew the bride

When she used to rock'n'roll

I knew the bride

When she used to rock'n'roll

l knew the bride

When she used to rock'n'roll

?r>
Well her proud daddy

Only wanna give his little girl the best

An so he ut down a grand

On a cosy ittle lover's nest

You could have called her reception

An unqualified success

At a flash hotel

For a 150 guests

?r>
Well take a look at the bridegroom

Smillin' pIeased as pie

Shakin' hands all around

With a glassy look in his eye

He got a real good job

An his shirt and tie is nice

But I remember a time

When she never would've looked

at him twice

?r>
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

?r>
* repeat

?r>
Well I can see her now

With her Walkman on

Jumpin' up and down

To her favorite song

l 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

?r>
* repeat
