(You Never Can Tell) C'est La Vie

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell [Verse 2] They furnished off an apartment With a two room Roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed With T.V. dinners and ginger ale But when Pierre found work The little money coming worked out well [Chorus] [Verse 3] They had a hi-fi phono Boy did they let it blast Seven hundred little records All rocking rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down The rapid tempo of the music fell [Chorus] [Verse 4] They bought a souped-up jitney It was a cherry-red fifty nine They drove it down to New Orleans To celebrate their anniversary It was there that Pierre Was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle [Chorus]
