You Never Can Tell

You Never Can Tell
Chuck Berry
Album: St Louis To Liverpool



It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
Cest 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 ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin worked out well
Cest 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 rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
Cest la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They bought a souped-up jitney, twas a cherry red 53 ,
They drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle
Cest la vie, say the old folks, it goes 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 madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
Cest la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
