	C5
It was a	C5teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well

	G
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoi	Gselle

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

	C5
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can	C5tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale

	G
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger	Gale,

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

	C5
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can	C5tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast

	G
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and	Gjazz

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

	C5
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can	C5tell

They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,

	G
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversa	Gry

It was there that Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle

	C5
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can	C5tell
