C'est La Vie
oleh: Bob Seger


It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished 'em wellYou could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselleAnd now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bellC'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 saleThe coolerator was jammed with TV dinners and ginger aleAnd when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out wellC'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 blastSeven hundred little records, all blues, rock, rhythm, and jazzBut when the sun went down, the volume went down as wellC'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 '53And drove it down to New Orleans to celebrate their anniversaryIt was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselleC'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 wellYou could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselleAnd now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bellC'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
