Lyrics

[Verse 1]
         C
It was a teenage wedding,
and the old folks wished them well
                                                         G
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 folks,
    G7                         C
"it goes to show you never can tell"

[Verse 2]
G7          C
  They furnished off an apartment with a 2room Roebuck sale
                                                   G
The coolerator was crammed with T V dinners and ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work,
the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie," say the old folks,
    G7                         C
"it goes to show you never can tell"

[Verse 3]
G7           C
  They had a hifi phono, boy,
did they let it blast
Seven hundredth little records, all rock,
               G
rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down,
the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks,
    G7                         C
"it goes to show you never can tell"

[Verse 4]
G7              C
  They bought a soupedup jitney,
was a cherry red fifty three
                                                           G
And 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 folks,
    G7                         C
"it goes to show you never can tell"

[Verse 5]
C G G7 C G7           C
           They had a teenage wedding,
and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
G
 And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel
bell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks,
    G7                         C    G7
"it goes to show you never can tell"
