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 madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie," said 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 the little money coming worked out well
Hey, "C'est la vie," said the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Yeah, seven hundred little records all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie," said the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell
Ooh, they bought a souped-up Didi, 'twas a cherry red '53
They drove it down to Nice to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
Hey, "C'est la vie," said the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell
