I Knew The Bride Lyrics - Get The Knack - The Knack

I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n roll 

I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n roll 

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

When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before 

They 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 walking down the aisle 

I see her catch my eye and give me a secret smile 

Maybe it's too old-fashionable 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 her tight blue jeans 

Pumping all her money in the record machine 

Spinning like a top, you shoulda 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 

Well, a proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best 

So he put down a grand on a cosy little lovers nest 

You could have called the reception an unqualified success 

At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests 

Well, take a look at the bridegroom smiling pleased as pie 

Shaking hands all round with a glassy look in his eye 

He got a real good job and a shirt and tie is nice 

But I remember a time when she never woulda looked at him twice 

Well, I can see her now drinking with the boys 

Breaking 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 the walkman on 

Jumping up and down to her favorite song 

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

Hopping and rocking with a street kind of voice 

She used to wanna party, used to wanna go 

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 party 

I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n roll 

I knew the bride when she used to wanna party 

I knew the bride when she used to rock 'n roll
