Lyrics

[00:02.97] It was a teenage wedding
[00:04.50] And the old folks wished them well
[00:08.97] You could see that Pierre did truly love
[00:11.36] The Mademoiselle
[00:14.94] And now the young Monsieur and Madame
[00:17.42] Have rung the chapel bell
[00:21.12] "c'est la vie" say the old folks
[00:23.11] It goes to show you never can tell
[00:27.34] They furnished off an apartment
[00:28.74] with a two room Roebuck sale
[00:33.30] The coolerator was crammed
[00:34.88] with TV dinners and ginger ale
[00:39.41] But when Pierre found work
[00:40.86] The little money comin' worked out well
[00:45.44] "c'est la vie" say the old folks
[00:47.38] It goes to show you never can tell
[00:51.75] They had a Hi-Fi phono
[00:53.07] Boy, did they let it blast
[00:57.61] Seven hundred little records,
[00:59.40] all rock, rhythm and jazz
[01:03.80] But when the sun went down
[01:05.23] The rapid tempo of the music fell
[01:09.80] "c'est la vie" say the old folks
[01:11.87] It goes to show you never can tell
[01:16.29] They bought a souped-up jitney
[01:17.92] 'twas a cherry red '53
[01:21.96] They drove it down to New Orleans
[01:23.48] To celebrate their anniversary
[01:28.27] It was there where Pierre was married
[01:30.42] To the lovely Mademoiselle
[01:34.23] "c'est la vie" say the old folks
[01:36.40] It goes to show you never can tell
[01:39.74] (Instrumental Break – piano solo)
[02:05.24] They had a teenage weddin’
[02:06.66] And the old folks wished them well
[02:11.22] You could see that Pierre did truly love
[02:13.72] The Mademoiselle
[02:17.40] And now the young Monsieur and Madame
[02:19.53] Have rung the chapel bell
[02:23.35] "c'est la vie" say the old folks
[02:25.45] It goes to show you never can tell
[02:29.32]
