It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well 
                                                    E    E7
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle 
            E                                              E7
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell, 
 E                                    E7                         A   (A E7 A *)
"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 
                                                      E   E7
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,
         E                                                     E7
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well 
 E                                    E7                         A   (A E7 A *)

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast 
                                                   E   E7
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz 
             E                                           E7
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell 
 E                                    E7                         A   (A E7 A *)

They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53, 
                                                        E  E7
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary 
       E                                                  E7
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle 
 E                                    E7                         A   (A E7 A *)
