[00:04.990]and the old folks wished them well
[00:09.510]You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
[00:15.650]And now the young monsieur
[00:17.260]and madame have rung the chapel bell,
[00:21.930]C'est la vie, say the old folks
[00:23.620]it goes to show you never can tell

[00:41.750]the little money comin' worked out well

[00:58.320]Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz

[01:17.030]They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,
[01:22.700]They drove it down New Orleans
[01:24.300]to celebrate their anniversary
[01:28.970]It was there that Pierre was married
