I Knew The Bride (LP Version)
i knew the bride (lp version) - 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've called the reception an unqualified success
at a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests
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 would never even look 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
