You Never Can Tell Lyrics

You Never Can Tell

(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 go to show you never can tell 
They furnished off an apartment with a two 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 go to show you never can tell 
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast 
Seven hundred little records, all rock, and 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 go to show you never can tell 
They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red `53, 
Drove down to New Orleans to celebrate the anniversary 
It was there where Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle 
"C`est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell 
They had 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 go to show you never can tell 
"C`est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell 
"C`est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
