Lyrics

[00:03.560] It was a teenage wedding
[00:04.990] and the old folks wished them well
[00:09.510] You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
[00:15.650] And now the young monsieur
[00:17.260] and madame have rung the chapel bell,
[00:21.930] C'est la vie, say the old folks
[00:23.620] it goes to show you never can tell
[00:26.510]
[00:28.040] They furnished off an apartment
[00:29.380] with a two room Roebuck sale
[00:33.960] The coolerator was crammed
[00:35.480] with TV dinners and ginger ale,
[00:40.060] But when Pierre found work
[00:41.750] the little money comin' worked out well
[00:46.010] C'est la vie, say the old folks
[00:47.490] it goes to show you never can tell
[00:50.860]
[00:52.820] They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
[00:58.320] Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
[01:04.470] But when the sun went down
[01:05.970] the rapid tempo of the music fell
[01:10.540] C'est la vie, say the old folks
[01:12.260] it goes to show you never can tell
[01:14.740]
[01:17.030] They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,
[01:22.700] They drove it down New Orleans
[01:24.300] to celebrate their anniversary
[01:28.970] It was there that Pierre was married
[01:30.970] to the lovely madamoiselle
[01:35.010] C'est la vie, say the old folks
[01:37.180] it goes to show you never can tell
[01:39.490]
[02:05.900] They had a teenage wedding
[02:07.470] and the old folks wished them well
[02:11.870] You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
[02:17.870] And now the young monsieur
[02:19.650] and madame have rung the chapel bell,
[02:23.750] C'est la vie, say the old folks
[02:25.840] it goes to show you never can tell
[02:29.850]
