          C
It was a teenage wedding and the
old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did
                G
truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and
madame have rung the chapel bell

C'est la vie, say the old folks,
                               C
it goes to show you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment with
two rooms by themselves
The [Unverified] was crammed with TV
dinners and Ginger Ale
But when Pierre found work,
the little money coming worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folk,
it goes to show, you never can tell

They had a Hi-Fi phono, boy,
did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, a
ll rockin' rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, t
he rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folk,
it goes to show, you never can tell

They bought a souped up jittney,
was a cherry red '53
They drove it down to Orleans
to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where Pierre was wedded
to the lovely Mademoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folk,
it goes to show, you never can tell

It was a teenage wedding and the old
folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly
love the Mademoiselle
And now the young Monsieur and Madame
have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie", say the old folk,
it goes to show, you never can tell
