(You Never Can Tell) C’est La Vie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 young monsieur and madame Had rung the chapel bell "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell [Verse 2] They furnished off an apartment With a two room Roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed With T.V. dinners and ginger ale When Pierre found work A little money coming worked out well "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell [Verse 3] They had a hi-fi phono Boy, did they let it blast Seven hundred little records All rocking rhythm and jazz When the sun went down The rapid tempo of the music fell "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell [Verse 4] They bought a souped-up jitney It was a cherry-red '53 Drove it down to Orleans To celebrate the anniversary It was there that Pierre Was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell [Verse 5] It was a teenage wedding And the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre Did truly love that mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame Had rung the chapel bell "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell [Outro] "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell "C'est la vie", say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell
