Scenes From An Italian Restaurant[00:00:00]
A bottle of white a bottle of red[00:00:14]
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead[00:00:21]
We'll get a table near the street[00:00:28]
In our old familiar place[00:00:31]
You and I face to face oooh[00:00:34]
A bottle of red a bottle of white[00:00:41]
It all depends on your appetite[00:00:48]
I'll meet you any time you want[00:00:55]
In our Italian Restaurant [00:00:58]
Things are okay with me these days[00:01:44]
Got a good job got a good office[00:01:46]
Got a new wife got a new life[00:01:48]
And the family is fine[00:01:51]
Oh we lost touch long ago[00:01:53]
You lost weight I did not know[00:01:56]
You could ever look so nice after so much time [00:01:59]
Do you remember those days hanging out at the village green [00:02:03]
Engineer boots leather jackets and tight blue jeans[00:02:09]
Oh you'd drop a dime in the box play a song[00:02:13]
About New Orleans[00:02:17]
Cold beer hot lights[00:02:18]
My sweet romantic teenage nights[00:02:21]
Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies[00:03:12]
And the king and the queen at the prom[00:03:14]
Riding around with the car top down[00:03:17]
And the radio on[00:03:18]
Nobody looked any finer or was more of a hit at the ParkwayDiner[00:03:21]
We never knew we could want more than that out of life[00:03:26]
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive[00:03:30]
Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75[00:03:35]
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July[00:03:48]
Everyone said they were crazy[00:03:53]
Brenda you know you're much too lazy[00:03:55]
And Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life[00:03:58]
But there we were waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye [00:04:03]
They got an apartment with deep pile carpet[00:04:10]
And a couple of paintings from Sears[00:04:12]
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread[00:04:15]
They had saved for a couple of years[00:04:17]
But they started to fight when the money got tight[00:04:19]
And they just didn't count on the tears[00:04:22]
Well they lived for a while in a very nice style[00:04:55]
But it's always the same in the end[00:04:57]
They got a divorce as a matter of course[00:04:59]
And they parted the closest of friends[00:05:02]
Then the king and the queen went back to the green[00:05:04]
But you can never go back there again [00:05:07]
Brenda and Eddie had had it already[00:05:13]
By the summer of '75[00:05:15]
From the high to the low to the end of the show[00:05:17]
For the rest of their lives[00:05:21]
They couldn't go back to the greasers[00:05:22]
The best they could do was pick up the pieces[00:05:24]
But we always knew they would both find a way to get by[00:05:27]
Oh that's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie[00:05:31]
Can't tell you more cause I told you already[00:05:34]
And here we are waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye [00:05:37]
A bottle of red and bottle of white[00:06:27]
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight[00:06:34]
I'll meet you anytime you want[00:06:41]
In our Italian Restaurant[00:06:44]
