You Never Can Tell

It was a teenage wedding, and the 
old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly 
                E    E7
love the mademoiselle
            E                 
And now the young monsieur and 
                             E7
madame have rung the chapel bell,
 E                                 
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, 
   E7                         A   
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 
                   E   E7
dinners and ginger ale,
         E                     
But when Pierre found work, the 
                                E7
little money comin' worked out well
Continues after the ad
 E                                 
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, 
   E7                         A   
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 
                 E   E7
rock, rhythm and jazz
             E                 
But when the sun went down, the 
                          E7
rapid tempo of the music fell
 E                                 
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, 
   E7                         A   
it goes to show you never can tell

They bought a souped-up jitney, 
'twas a cherry red '53,
They drove it down to Orleans to 
                       E  E7
celebrate the anniversary
       E                           
It was there that Pierre was 
                       E7
married to the lovely mademoiselle
 E                                 
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, 
   E7                         A   
it goes to show you never can tell
