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
It had 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
