[00:00:01] Scenes From An Italian Restaurant --Billy Joel

[00:00:04] A bottle of white a bottle of red

[00:00:18] Perhaps a bottle of rose instead

[00:00:23] We'll get a table near the street

[00:00:30] In our old familiar place

[00:00:33] You and I face to face oooh

[00:00:39] A bottle of red a bottle of white

[00:00:46] It all depends on your appetite

[00:00:52] I'll meet you any time you want

[00:00:57] In our Italian Restaurant

[00:01:01] Things are okay with me these days

[00:01:46] Got a good job got a good office

[00:01:49] Got a new wife got a new life

[00:01:51] And the family is fine

[00:01:52] Oh we lost touch long ago

[00:01:55] You lost weight I did not know

[00:01:58] You could ever look so nice after so much time

[00:02:02] Do you remember those days hanging out at the village green

[00:02:06] Engineer boots leather jackets and tight blue jeans

[00:02:11] Oh you'd drop a dime in the box play a song

[00:02:16] About New Orleans

[00:02:16] Cold beer hot lights

[00:02:21] My sweet romantic teenage nights

[00:02:23] Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies

[00:03:13] And the king and the queen at the prom

[00:03:16] Riding around with the car top down

[00:03:18] And the radio on

[00:03:20] Nobody looked any finer or was more of a hit at the ParkwayDiner

[00:03:25] We never knew we could want more than that out of life

[00:03:30] Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive

[00:03:34] Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75

[00:03:47] When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July

[00:03:52] Everyone said they were crazy

[00:03:54] Brenda you know you're much too lazy

[00:03:58] And Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life

[00:04:01] But there we were waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye

[00:04:05] They got an apartment with deep pile carpet

[00:04:12] And a couple of paintings from Sears

[00:04:14] A big waterbed that they bought with the bread

[00:04:17] They had saved for a couple of years

[00:04:19] But they started to fight when the money got tight

[00:04:22] And they just didn't count on the tears

[00:04:24] Well they lived for a while in a very nice style

[00:04:57] But it's always the same in the end

[00:04:59] They got a divorce as a matter of course

[00:05:01] And they parted the closest of friends

[00:05:03] Then the king and the queen went back to the green

[00:05:06] But you can never go back there again

[00:05:08] Brenda and Eddie had had it already

[00:05:15] By the summer of '75

[00:05:17] From the high to the low to the end of the show

[00:05:20] For the rest of their lives

[00:05:22] They couldn't go back to the greasers

[00:05:24] The best they could do was pick up the pieces

[00:05:27] But we always knew they would both find a way to get by

[00:05:31] Oh that's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie

[00:05:34] Can't tell you more cause I told you already

[00:05:37] And here we are waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye

[00:05:39] A bottle of red and bottle of white

[00:06:31] Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight

[00:06:37] I'll meet you anytime you want

[00:06:43] In our Italian Restaurant
