It was a teenage wedding
and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre
did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the lovely madame and Pierre
have rung the chapel bells
Said, I'll be staying, old folks,
it's going to show you never can tell
They had a high -five photo,
boy, could they let it last
Seven hundred little records,
oh, rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down,
the rapid tempo of the music fell
Said, I'll be stayin' with old folks,
it goes to show you never can tell
They had a hot rod jiffy,
was a cherry red fifty -three
Drove it down to New Orleans
to celebrate their anniversary
For it was there that Pierre
and Madame
had rung the chapel bell
It was a teenage wedding
and the old folks were standin'
You could see that Pierre
did truly love the madame so
And now the lovely madame and Pierre
have rung the chapel bell
Said I'll be stayin' the old folks,
it's gonna show you never can tell
Said I'll be stayin' the old folks,
it's gonna show you never
can tell
