Lyrics

[00:03.28] It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
[00:06.70] You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
[00:12.95] And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
[00:19.74] "c est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
[00:24.61] They furnished off an apartment with a two room roebuck sale
[00:31.60] The coolerator was crammed with tv dinners and ginger ale,
[00:37.59] But when pierre found work, the little money comin worked out well
[00:43.02] "c est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
[00:49.51] They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
[00:55.50] Seven hundred little records, all rock, and rhythm and jazz
[01:01.68] But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
[01:07.60] "c est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
[01:13.85] They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red 53,
[01:19.34] Drove down to new orleans to celebrate the anniversary
[01:25.27] It was there where pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
[01:31.63] "c est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
[01:38.12] They had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
[02:08.63] You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
[02:15.12] And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
[02:20.98] "c est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
