1. It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well,

G

you could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle,

and now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,

G7 C - G

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

2. They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale,

G

the coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,

but when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well,

G7 C - G

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

C

3. They had a hi-fi phono, oh boy, did they let it blast,

G

seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz,

but when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell,

G7 C - G

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

C

4. They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,

G

they drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary,

it was there where Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle,

G7 C - G

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

5. They had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well,

G

you could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle,

and now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,

G7 C
