C'est La Vie - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
It was a teenage wedding and
The old folks wished 'em well
We 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
Aw never can tell
