C'est La Vie (you Never Can Tell) Lyrics - Metropolitan Hotel - Chely Wright

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", 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 gingerale 

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 

The had a Hi-Fi phono and 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", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell 

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

Drove it down to Orleans to celebrate their anniversary 

It was there that Pierre was wedded to the lovely Mademoiselle 

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

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

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