Karaoké I Knew the Bride Dave Edmunds

Well the bride looked a picture in the gown that her mama wore

When she was married herself nearly twenty seven years before

She had to change the style a little but it looked just fine

They stayed up all night but they got it finished just in time

Now on the arm of her daddy

She's a walkin' down the aisle

And she catches my eye and she gives 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 the tight blue jeans

Pumpin' all the 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

I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Now her proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best

And 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 a hundred and fifty guests

Take a look at the bridegroom smilin' and 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 would never even look at him twice

But 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

Well I can see her now with her headphones on

Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song

I still remember when she used to wanna make a lot of noise

Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys

She used to love to party she used to love to 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 hey
