Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
DDC
And the king and the queen of the prom
GG/BC
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
GDDC
Nobody looked any finer

Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner

Brenda and Eddy were still going steady in the summer of seventy five
GG/BC
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
GDDC
Everyone said they were crazy
GC
Brenda you know that you're much too lazy
GFE
Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life
AmAm/BCDG
Oh, but there we were waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye
G/FG/ED
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
C
Well, they got an apartment with deep pile carpet
DG
And a couple of paintings from Sears
C
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread

They started to fight when the money got tight

They got a divorce as a matter of course
DG
And they parted the closest of friends
C
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
DEmAmD
But you can never go back there again, oh oh, oh oh
GDDC
Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of seventy five
GG/B
From the high to the low to the end of the show
C
For the rest of their lives
GDDC
They couldn't go back to the greasers
GC
The best they could do was pick up their pieces
GFE
We always knew they would both find a way to get by
AmAm/BCD
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
