You Never Can Tell Lyrics

(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
