A BOTTLE OF WHITE, A BOTTLE OF RED
PERHAPS A BOTTLE OF ROSE INSTEAD
GET A TABLE NEAR THE STREET IN OUR OLD FAMILIAR PLACE
YOU AND I FACE TO FACE UHM
A BOTTLE OF RED, A BOTTLE WHITE
IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR APPETITE
I'LL MEET YOU ANY TIME YOU WANT IN OUR ITALIAN RESTAURANT
Instrumental
NEWS ARE OKAY WITH ME THESE DAYS
GOT A GOOD JOB, I GOT A GOOD OFFICE
I GOT A NEW WIFE, GOT A NEW LIFE AND THE FAMILY IS FINE OOH
LOST TOUCH LONG AGO, YOU LOST WEIGHT I DID NOT KNOW
YOU WOULD EVER LOOK SO NICE AFTER SO MUCH TIME
YOU RE MEMBER THOSE DAYS HANGIN' OUT AT THE VILLAGE GREEN
THE ENGINEER BOOTS, LEATHER JACKETS AND TIGHT BLUE JEANS
WOOH YOU DROP A DIME IN THE BOX PLAY A SONG ABOUT NEW ORLEANS
COLD BEER, HOT LIGHTS
MY SWEET ROMANTIC TEENAGE NIGHTS WOOH OOH
YEAH WOOH OOH
Piano Solo
WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH OOH OOH OOH
WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH, OOH OOH OOH
BRENDA AND EDDY WERE THE POPULAR STEADIES
AND THE KING AND THE QUEEN OF THE HOP
RIDIN' AROUND WITH THE CAR TOP DOWN AND THE RADIO ON
NOBODY LOOKED ANY FINER
I WAS MORE OF A HIT AT THE PARKWAY DINER
WE NEVER KNEW WE COULD WANT MORE THAN THAT OUT OF LIFE
SURE THAT BRENDA AND EDDY WOULD ALWAYS KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE
WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH, OOH OOH OOH WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH, OOH OOH OOH
BRENDA AND EDDY WERE STILL GOING STEADY IN THE SUMMER OF '75
WHEN THAY DECIDED THE MARRIAGE WOULD BE AT THE END OF JULY
EV'RYONE SAID THEY WERE CRAZY
BRENDA YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE MUCH TOO LAZY
AND EDDY COULD NEVER AFFORD TO LIVE THAT KIND OF LIFE
OOH BUT THERE WE WERE WAIVIN' BRENDA AND EDDY GOODBYE
WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH OOH
WELL THEY GOT AN APARTMENT WITH DEEP PILED CARPET
AND A COUPLE OF PAINTAINGS FROM SEARS
A BIG WATERBED THAT THEY BOUGHT WITH THE BREAD
THEY'D SAVED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS
BUT THEY STARTED TO FIGHT WHEN THE MONEY GOT TIGHT
AND THEY JUST DIDN'T COUNT ON THE TEARS
WOOH OOH WOOHOOH YEAH ROCK AND ROLL
Sax solo
WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH OOH
WELL THEY LIVED FOR A WHILE IN A VERY NICE STYLE
BUT IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME IN THE END
THEY GOT A DIVORCE AS A MATTER OF COURSE
AND THEY PARTED THE CLOSEST OF FRIENDS
THEN THE KING AND THE QUEEN WENT BACK TO THE GREEN
BUT YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN
NOO OOH, WOOH OOH
BRENDA AND EDDY HAD HAD IT ALREADY BY THE SUMMER OF '75
FROM THE HEIGHT OF THE LAW TO THE END OF THE SHORE
FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES
COULDN'T GO BACK TO THE GREASERS
BEST THEY COULD DO WAS PICK UP THEIR PIECES
AND WE ALWAYS KNEW THEY WOULD BOTH FIND A WAY TO GET BY OOH
AND THAT'S ALL I HEARD ABOUT BRENDA AND EDDY
I CAN'T TELL YOU MORE 'CAUSE I TOLD YOU ALREADY
AND HERE WE ARE WAVIN' BRENDA AND EDDY GOODBYE
WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH, OOH OOH OOH WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH OOH OOH OOH
WOOH OOH, WOOH OOH
WOOH OOH, OOH OOH OOH
WOOH YEAH
A BOTTLE OF RED, OOH A BOTTLE OF WHITE
WHATEVER KIND OF MOOD YOU'RE IN TONIGHT
I'LL MEET YOU ANY TIME YOU WANT
IN OUR ITALIAN RESTAURANT
