YOU NEVER CAN TELL
Låtskriver: Chuck Berry
It was a teenage wedding,
and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre
did truly love the mademoiselle
now the young monsieur and madame
have rung the chapel bell
«C’est la vie» said 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
when Pierre found work,
the little money comin’ worked out well
«C’est la vie» said 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
when the sun went down
the rapid tempo of the music fell
«C’est la vie» said the old folks
it goes to show you never can tell
Instrumental
They bought a souped-up jitney
’twas a cherry red ’53
drove it down to Orleans
to celebrate their anniversary
It was there that Pierre
was married to the lovely mademoiselle
«C’est la vie» said the old folks
it goes to show you never can tell
«C’est la vie» said the old folks
it goes to show you never can tell
