It was a ^Cteenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well. You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoi^Gselle.

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

'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it ^G7goes to show you never can te^Cll.

^CThey furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale. The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ^Gale.

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

'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it g^G7oes to show you never can ^Ctell.

^CThey had a hi-fi phono, oh boy, did they let it blast. Seven hundred little records, all rock and rhythm and^G jazz.

But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell.

'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it g^G7oes to show you never can t^Cell.

^CThey bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red '53. They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their ann^Giversary.

It was there where Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle.

C'est la vie', say the old folks, it g^G7oes to show you never can te^Cll.
