You Never Can Tell (c'est La Vie) Lyrics - Chuck Berry

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 have rung the chapel bell 

"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell" 

They furnished off an apartment with a 2-room Roebuck sale 

The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale, 

But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well 

"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell" 

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast 

700 little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz 

But 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" 

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

And drove it down to Orleans to celebrate their anniversary 

It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle 

"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
