* 4-bar intro
Well the bride looks a picture in the gown that her mamma wore
When she was married herself, nearly 27 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 walking down the aisle.
Then 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 been.
Well I can see her now in her tight blue jeans,
Popping all the money in the record machine.
Spinning like a top, you should have 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 his grand on a cosy little lover's nest.
You could have called the reception, an unqualified success
At a flash hotel for 150 guests.
Well take a look at the bride-groom smiling, pleased as pie,
Shaking 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 rememeber a time when she would never even look at it twice.
Well I can see her now, drinking with the boys,
Breaking 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.
* 8-bar guitar solo
Well I can see her now with her headphones on,
Jumping up and down to her favourite song.
I still remember when she used to wanna make a lot of noise,
Hopping and bopping with the street-corner boys.
She used to love to party, she used to wanna 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.
