YouNeverCanTell

It was a teenage wedding  and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
And 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
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 comin' 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  boy  did they let it blast
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  say the old folks  it goes to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney  'twas a cherry red '53
They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle
C'est la vie  say the old folks  it goes to show you never can tell
They had a teenage wedding  and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
And 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
