         C
It was a teenage wedding,
C
And the old folks wished them well.
C
You could see that Pierre
                          G
Did truly love the mademoiselle.
G
And now the young monsieur and madame
G
Have rung the chapel bell,
G
ʼCʼest la vieʼ, say the old folks,
    G7                          C G
It goes to show you never can tell.

G              C
They furnished off an apartment
C
With a two room Roebuck sale.
C
The coolerator was crammed
                           G
With TV dinners and ginger ale.
G
But when Pierre found work,
G
Whe little money cominʼ worked out well.
G
ʼCʼest la vieʼ, say the old folks,
    G7                        C G
It goes to show you never can tell.

         C
They had a hi-fi phono, oh boy,
C
Did they let it blast.
C
Seven hundred little records,
                      G
All rock, rhythm and jazz.
G
But when the sun went down,
G
The rapid tempo of the music fell.
G
ʼCʼest la vieʼ, say the old folks,
   G7                          C G
It goes to show you never can tell.

G              C
They bought a souped-up jitney,
C
ʼTwas a cherry red ʼ53.
C
They drove it down New Orleans
                       G
To celebrate their anniversary.
G
It was there that Pierre was married
G
To the lovely madamoiselle.
G
ʼCʼest la vieʼ, say the old folks,
     G7                        C G
It goes to show you never can tell.

         C
It was a teenage wedding,
C
And the old folks wished them well.
