Well the bride looked a picture In the gown that her mama wore When she was married herself Nearly 27 years before She 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 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'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 Now, her proud daddy Only wanna give his little girl the best So he put down a grand On a cosy little lover's nest You could have called her reception An unqualified success At a flash hotel For a 100 and 50 guests Now, take a look at the bridegroom Smillin' pIeased as pie Shakin' hands all around With a glassy look in his eye He's 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 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 Ipod 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 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 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 want to party I knew the bride When she used to rock'n'roll
