You Never Can Tell
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,
""Cest la vie"", say the old folks, it go 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
""Cest la vie"", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, and rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
""Cest la vie"", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red 53,
Drove down to New Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there where Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
""Cest la vie"", say the old folks, it go 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 mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
""Cest la vie"", say the old folks, it go to show you never
can tell
