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
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
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

Seger, Bob C'est La Vie Comments
Bob seger is. My favourite singer ever he's the greatest
Great song
C'est La Vie, don't cry for me, silly bee,
a new girl on the horizon, me oh miss,
a cat in the fiddle,
a riddle?
I love this version. Bob is great
Larry Mitchell's house Deer Park, Texas Party Central.
Oh Patty Lake South Houston.
Chuck Berry done perfectly!
#bestsongever
The correct title is "You Never Can Tell".
Just goes to show ya.
What about the Robbie Nevill version?
As a fellow Michigander I must stay out of this whole discussion. Bob rocks. He has always rocked. Unborn children will say in the future- He rocks.
Cherry red 53..
only the best 👌
Sorry chuck i love you but on this one i like bob
THIS BRINGS IT HOME! 💋
best live performance I ever saw was Bob Seger!
Pulp Fiction did not bring me here.
Listen to more Bob
OH PLAY THAT PIANO...BRASS IS AWESOME TOO!
Nice element of swing to this version.
No offense to Chuck Berry but this is the best version EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Only good song he ever did, and it's a cover.
i think this is my favorite cover of this song, it's so well done. love relistening to it.

Most of The younger generation in 2019 probably don’t even know bob seater exists but I’m part of that generation and I can thank my great old papaw for showing me bob Seeger cause now I love bob Seger and he is one of my fave artists o& all times

Love to twist now! Lol
Better than chuck berry.
Love this song. If you don't rock to this you must be dead.
When I hear this song, I always throw on my leather jacket, basass (ish) shades, pick up the microphone and sing.
I’ve seen him. He just gets better with time. Thanks
Me. Bob
C'est la vie ( Such is life) R.I.P. Chuck Berry... Great sound Bob... Seger rocks!
NIce Piano. Bang on Man. That's Right! You Never Can Tell! Till you drop you pants.
Very well done brother Bob, heard that rendition with Bruce Springsteen well done as well.
They (Tarentino) should have used this version in Pulp Fiction
Scotty ColoradoKid Bob Seger’s rendition wasn’t released until five months after Pulp Fiction’s release, so that wouldn’t have been possible.
Bob Seeger does the best version of this song ever?
You are so right.
for sure,
I really Bob's version, but Springsteen's live version is my favorite.
Sorry I think Chuck Berry's is still the best.
It's great! But I still prefer Emmylou Harris - Plus, compared to Bob Seger, who wouldn't rather look at her?
nothing like a good rock n roll to improve a mood
Thanks Hugo von da oim 🎵
R.I.P CHUCK BERRY
Who remembers this from Zeus & Roxanne?
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
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
Thank you.✌
eh we know the words
how could this not make you happy'', if it doesn't your dead'' sorry.
51 dead people. LOL
made chuck proud with this'', I hate to say it''
He was a real Gentleman
RIP Chuck Berry. This is my favorite version, too.
RIP Chuck Berry
I think of Zeus and roxanne movie when I hear this
Great rock!
Good ol' Chuck Berry tune. Bob's version is my favorite -----
REAL SNAZZY!
Fantastic version

Mr Seger, you have been my hero for years and I am oblivious as to why more fans to not listen to C'est La Vie! I love all of your music, but most of all, I truly hope that you are doing well. 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!
Bob wrote many of our lives.
