Riding around with the car top down and the radio on

When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July

Everyone said they were crazy

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 goodbye

Well, they got an apartment with deep pile carpet

And a couple of paintings from Sears

A big waterbed that they bought with the bread

Then the king and the queen went back to the green
D Em Am D
But you can never go back there again, oh oh, oh oh

Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of seventy five
G
From the high to the low to the end of the show

For the rest of their lives
G D C
They couldn't go back to the greasers
G C
The best they could do was pick up their pieces

We always knew they would both find a way to get by

That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
