Seger, Bob - C'est La Vie Lyrics






It was 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

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

  39. M.... ....

    Very well done brother Bob, heard that rendition with Bruce Springsteen well done as well.

  40. S.... C....

    They (Tarentino) should have used this version in Pulp Fiction

    S.... C....

    Scotty ColoradoKid Bob Seger’s rendition wasn’t released until five months after Pulp Fiction’s release, so that wouldn’t have been possible.

  41. F.... M....

    Bob Seeger does the best version of this song ever?

    F.... M....

    You are so right.

    F.... M....

    for sure,

    F.... M....

    I really Bob's version, but Springsteen's live version is my favorite.

    F.... M....

    Sorry I think Chuck Berry's is still the best.

    F.... M....

    It's great! But I still prefer Emmylou Harris - Plus, compared to Bob Seger, who wouldn't rather look at her?

  42. j.... b....

    nothing like a good rock n roll to improve a mood

  43. V.... B....

    Thanks Hugo von da oim 🎵

Bless you and your family for all of the sacrifices that you 'all' have made to give us this beautiful music. Thank you....you have saved more than one life with your music, and I am sure that your family has made sacrifices too.....  SO THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!
