it was a teenage wedding , and the old folks wished them well
E E7
you could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
E E7
and now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell ,
E E7 A ( A E7 A * )
“c’est la vie” , say the old folks , it goes to show you never can tell

A
they furnished off an apartment with a two room roebuck sale
E E7
the coolerator was crammed with tv dinners and ginger ale ,
E E7
but when pierre found work , the little money comin’ worked out well
E E7 A ( A E7 A * )
“c’est la vie” , say the old folks , it goes to show you never can tell

A
they had a hi – fi phono , boy , did they let it blast
E E7
seven hundred little records , all rock , rhythm and jazz
E E7
but when the sun went down , the rapid tempo of the music fell
E E7 A ( A E7 A * )
“c’est la vie” , say the old folks , it goes to show you never can tell

A
they bought a souped – up jitney , ’twas a cherry red ’53 ,
E E7
they drove it down to orleans to celebrate the anniversary
E E7
it was there that pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
E E7 A ( A E7 A * )
“c’est la vie” , say the old folks , it goes to show you never can tell

A E E7 E E7 A
