It was a rock’n’ roll 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
“C est. le vie” say the old folks,
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 dinners and ginger ale
But when Pierre found work,
the little money comin
worked out well
“C est. le vie” say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can tell

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

They bought a souped up Chevy,
was a cherry red 53
They drove it down to New Orleans
to celebrate the anniversary
It was there where Pierre was
married to the lovely mademoiselle
“C est. le vie” say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can tell

It was a rock’n’ roll 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
“C est. le vie” say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can tell

It was a rock ‘n’ roll wedding and
the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did
truly love the mademoiselle
