C’est La Vie Lyrics by Texas Lightning

Meanwhile, Back at the Golden Ranch

0

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
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 ginger ale
But 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 rock, 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 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
C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
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
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
