Intro: |
It was a teenage wedding |
And the old folks wished them well |
You could see that Pierre |
did truly love the madamoiselle |
And now the young monsieur |
and madame have rung the chapel bell |
"C'est la vie", say the old folks |
it goes to show you never can tell |
They furnished off an apartment |
with a two room Roebuck sale |
The coolerator was crammed |
with TV dinners and ginger ale, |
But when Pierre found work |
the little money comin' worked out well |
"C'est la vie", say the old folks |
It goes to show you never can tell |
They had a hi-fi phono, boy |
did they let it blast |
Seven hundred little records |
all rock, rhythm and jazz |
But when the sun went down |
the rapid tempo of the music fell |
"C'est la vie", say the old folks |
it goes to show you never can tell |
They bought a souped-up jitney |
'twas a cherry red '53, |
They drove it down to Orleans |
to celebrate the anniversary |
It was there that Pierre was married |
to the lovely madamoiselle |
"C'est la vie", say the old folks |
it goes to show you never can tell |
