It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well,
                                                    G
you could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle,
G
and now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale,
                                                      G

They had a hi-fi phono, oh boy, did they let it blast,
                                                   G
seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz,
G
but when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell,

They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,

they drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary,
G
it was there where Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle,
