Nick Lowe I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock 'N' Roll) Lyrics

Well the bride looked a picture
In the gown that her mama wore
When she was married herself
Nearly 27 years before
They ad to change the style a little
But It looked just fine
Stayed up ail night
But they got it finished just in time

Now on the arm of her daddy
She's walkin' down the aisle
l see her catch my eye
And give me a secret smiie
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
l knew the bride
When she used to rock'n'roll
I knew the bride
When she used to rock'n'roll
l knew the bride
When she used to rock'n'roll

Well her proud daddy
Only wanna give his little girl the best
An so he ut down a grand
On a cosy ittle lover's nest
You could have called her reception
An unqualified success
At a flash hotel
For a 150 guests
　
Well take a look at the bridegroom
Smillin' pIeased as pie
Shakin' hands all around
With a glassy look in his eye
He 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

* repeat

Well I can see her now
With her Walkman on
Jumpin' up and down
To her favorite song
l 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 want to party
Used to want to go
　
* repeat
