Status Quo - I Knew The Bride lyrics

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

When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before

Well, 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 a-walking down the aisle

And she catches my eye and she gives me a secret smile

Maybe it's too old-fashioned but we were once close friends

But the way 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 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 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

And a posh hotel for a hundred and fifty guests

Well, I can see her now drinking with the boys

Breaking their hearts like they were toys

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

Well, I can see her now with her headphones on

Jumping up and down to her favourite song

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

Take a look at the bridegroom who's smiling pleased as pie

Shaking hands all round with a glassy look in his eye

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

But I remember a time when she would never even look at him twice

Well, I can see her now drinking with the boys

Breaking their hearts like they were toys

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

I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
