You Never Can Tell

(album: Goin' Coconuts - 1978)

It was a rock 'n' roll 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 le 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 le vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono and boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records all rock 'n' rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C est le vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

They bought a souped up Chevy was a cherry red 53
They drove it down to New Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there where Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
"C est le vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

It was a rock 'n' roll 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 le vie" say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
