You Never Can Tell Lyrics

You Never Can Tell lyrics

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well

 You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle

 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 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 goes to show you never can tell

 

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

 Seven hundred 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, 'twas a cherry red '53,

 They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary

 It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle

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