You Never Can Tell

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

They furnished off an apartment with two rooms by themselves
                                                      G
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale
         G7
But when Pierre found work the little money coming worked out well
                                                               C     F G

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

They bought a souped up jittny, was a cherry red fifty three
                                                          G
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
       G7
It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely Mademoiselle
                                                              C
