C`est La Vie Lyrics

(Written by: Chuck Berry)
It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished
`em well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And
now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell
C'est la vie say
the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They finished off an
apartment with a two-room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was jammed with TV
dinners and ginger ale
And 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
Seven hundred
little records, all blues, rock, rhythm, and jazz
But when the sun went
down, the volume went down as well
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes
to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney, it was a cherry
red `53
And drove it down to New 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
They had a teenage wedding and the old folks wished `em well
You
could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young
monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell
C'est la vie say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can tell
