VERSE 1
It was a t[C]eenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoi[G]selle [G7]
And now the [G]young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel [G7]bell,
"[G]C'est la vie", say the old folks, it [G7]goes to show you never can [C]tell [G7]
VERSE 2
[C]They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger [G]ale,[G7]
But when [G]Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out [G7]well
"[G]C'est la vie", say the old folks, it [G7]goes to show you never can [C]tell [G7]
VERSE 3
[C]They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and [G]jazz[G7]
But when the [G]sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music [G7]fell
"[G]C'est la vie", say the old folks, it [G7]goes to show you never can [C]tell [G7]
VERSE 4
[C]They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversa[G]ry [G7]
It was [G]there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoi[G7]selle
