Verse one

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished 'em well

 You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle

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

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

Verse two

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale

 The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale

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

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

Verse three

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

 Seven hundred little records, all blues, rock, rhythm and jazz

But when the sun went down, the volume went down as well

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

Verse four

They bought a souped up Chevy, 'twas a cherry red '53

 They drove it down to New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary

It was there that Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle

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