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 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 and 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 '53
Drove down to New Orleans
to celebrate the 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 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
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
