   VERSE 1:

   -------- 

            C5
   It was a teenage wedding, and the
 old folks wished them well
   You could see that Pierre did 
                       G5
truly love the madamoiselle

   And now the young monsieur and 
madame have rung the chapel bell,
   "C'est la vie", say the old 
folks, it goes to show you never can
 C5
 tell


   VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]

   -------- 

   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
   "C'est la vie", say the old 
folks, it goes to show you never can
 tell


   VERSE 3: [play like verse 1]

   -------- 

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


   VERSE 4: [play like verse 1]

   -------- 

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