Lyrics
It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and the dame have rung the chapel bell
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
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 a little money come and 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 and boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all blues, rock, 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 jitney with 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
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
C'est la vie
