Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the king and the queen of the prom
Riding around with the car top down 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, oh, oh
Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of ’75
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,
And Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life”
Oh, but there we were wavin’ Brenda and Eddie goodbye,
oh, oh
