Lyrics

It was a teenage wedding
 And the old folks wished them well
 You could see that Pierre
 Did truly love that mademoiselle
 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", said 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
 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
 It was a cherry-red fifty three
 Drove it down to New Orleans
 To celebrate the anniversary
 It was there that Pierre
 Was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
 "C'est la vie", say the old folks
 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 that mademoiselle
 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
 "C'est la vie", say the old folks
 It goes to show you never can tell
 "C'est la vie", say the old folks
 It goes to show you never can tell
