1
It was a teenage wedding
2
And the old folks wished 'em well
3
You could see that pierre
4
Did truly love the mademoiselle.
5
And the young monsieur and madame
6
Have rung the chapel bell,
7
"c'est la vie,"
8
-say the old folks
9
It goes to show that you never can tell
10
They furnished off an apartment
11
With a two room roebuck sale
12
The coolerator was filled
13
With T. V. Dinners and ginger ale
14
But when pierre found work,
15
The little money comin' worked out well
16
"c'est la vie,"
17
-say the old folks
18
It goes to show that you never can tell
19
They had a hi-fi phono
20
Boy, did they let it blast
21
Seven hundred little records
22
All rock, rhythm and jazz
23
But when the sun went down
24
The rapid tempo of the music fell
25
"c'est la vie,"
26
-say the old folks
27
It goes to show that you never can tell
28
They bought a souped up jitney
29
'twas a cherry in fifty-three
30
They drove it down to new orleans
31
To celebrate their anniversary.
32
It was there where pierre was wedded
33
To the lovely mademoiselle,
34
"c'est la vie,"
35
-say the old folks
36
It goes to show that you never can tell
37
It was a teenage wedding
38
And the old folks wished 'em well
39
You could see that pierre
40
Did truly love the mademoiselle.
41
And the young monsieur and madame
42
Have rung the chapel bell,
43
"c'est la vie,"
44
-say the old folks
45
It goes to show that you never can tell
