[Intro]
So, haha, how y'all doin'? Haha

[Verse 1]
It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
Well, the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

[Verse 2]
They had a furnished apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The refrigerator was jammed with TV dinners and ginger ale
Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
They had a souped-up jitney, cherry red '53
They drove it down to New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

[Verse 4]
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
When the evening would fall, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could tell that Pierre did truly love his mademoiselle
Now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

[Outro]
"C'est la vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
