You Never Can Tell

         C
It was a teenage wedding and the old
 folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly 
         G
love the mademoiselle
            G7
And now the young monsieur and 
madame have rung the chapel bell
C'est la vie, say the old folks, it 
                           C
goes to show you never can tell

               C
They furnished off an apartment with
 two rooms by themselves
The coolerator was crammed with TV 
                   G
dinners and ginger ale
         G7
But when Pierre found work the 
little money coming worked out well
Continues after the ad
C'est la vie, say the old folks, it 
                           C     F G
goes to show you never can tell

           C
They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they
 let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all 
                   G
rockin' rhythm and jazz
             G7
But when the sun went down, the 
rapid tempo of the music fell
C'est la vie say the old folks, it 
                           C
goes to show you never can tell

              C
They bought a souped up jittny, was 
a cherry red fifty three
They drove it down to Orleans to 
                         G
celebrate their anniversary
       G7
It was there where Pierre was wedded
 to the lovely Mademoiselle
C'est la vie say the old folks, it 
                           C
goes to show you never can tell
