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 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 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
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
WAS A CHERRY RED
FIFTY-THREE
THEY DROVE IT
DOWN NEW ORLEANS
TO CELEBRATE
THEIR ANNIVERSARY
IT WAS THERE WHERE PIERRE
WAS WEDDED TO
THE LOVELY MADEMOISELLE
C'EST LA VIE, SAY THE OLD FOLKS
IT GOES TO SHOW
YOU NEVER CAN TELL
THEY HAD A TEENAGE WEDDIN'
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 FOLKS
IT GOES TO SHOW
YOU NEVER CAN TELL
