Scenes From an Italian Restaurant sing and play along
A bottle of white,
a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead
Get a table near the street
In our old familiar place You and I face to face mm mm
A bottle of red,
a bottle of white
it all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want In our Italian restaurant
Things are okay with me these days
Got a good job,
got a good office, Got a new wife,
got a new life and the family's fine
We lost touch long ago
You lost weight I did not know
You could ever look so nice after so much time
Do you remember those days hanging out at the Village Green
The engineer boots, leather jackets and tight bluejeans
You drop a dime in the box play a song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights
My sweet romantic teenage nights
Whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa
Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies and the king and the queen of the prom
Riding around with the car top down be and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer or was more of a hit at the parkway diner we never knew we could want more than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive
Whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa
Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of seventyfive prom
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
Ev'ryone said they were crazy, or was "Brenda,
you know that you're much too lazy Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life."
Oh, but there we were waving Brenda and Eddie good surbye
Whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa
Brenwhoa whoa whoa
Well, they got an apartment with deep pile carpets and a couple of paintings from
Sears A big water bed that they bought with the bread they had saved for a couple of years
They started to fight when the money got tight and they just didn't count on the tears
Whoa whoa
whoa
Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of seventyfive
From the high to the low to the end of the show for the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
Best they could do was pick up their pieces we always knew they would both find a way to get by
Oh, and that's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie can't tell you more 'cause I've told you already and here we are waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye
Whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa whoa
A bottle of red,
a bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you any time you want in our Italian restaurant
