[00:08.00]You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
[00:15.00]And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
[00:20.00]C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
[00:28.00]They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
[00:34.00]The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,
[00:39.00]But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
[00:46:00]:C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
[00:50:00]They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
[00:58:00]Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
[01:04:00]But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
[01:09:00]C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell never can tell

[02:40:00]Drove down to New Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
[02:45:00]It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
