It was a teen-aged wedding 
D 
And the old folks wished them well 
D 
You could see that Pierre 
                       A 
Truly loved the mademoiselle 
A 
And now the young Monsieur and Madame 
A 
Have rung the chapel bell 
A 
C‘est La Vie say the old folks 
                              D 
It goes to show you never can tell 
 
They furnished off the apartment 
With a two room tag-end sale 
The coolerator was crammed 
With TV dinners and Ginger Ale 
But when Pierre found work 
The little money come in, worked out well 
C‘est La Vie say the old folks 
It goes to show you never can tell 
 
They had a hi-fi phono 
Boy, did they let it blast 
700 little records 
All rock and rhythm and jazz 
But when the sun went down 
The rapid tempo of the music fell 
C‘est La Vie say the old folks 
It goes to show you never can tell 
 
They bought a souped up chitney 
Was cherry red fifty-three 
Drove it down to Orleans 
To celebrate their anniversary 
It was their where Pierre was wedded 
To the lovely mademoiselle 
C‘est La Vie say the old folks 
It goes to show you never can tell 
 
It was a teen-aged wedding 
And the old folks wished them well 
You could see that Pierre 
Truly loved 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
