"You Never Can Tell":

Também conhecido como "c'est La Vie" ou "Teenage Wedding", é uma canção escrita por Chuck Berry. Foi composta no início da década de 1960, enquanto Berry estava em uma prisão federal por violar o Mann Act. Lançado em 1964, no álbum" St. Louis to Liverpool e no single seguinte Berry's final Top Ten hit of the 1960s: "No Particular Place to Go", "You Never Can Tell" atingiu a posição #14 se tornando o Top 40 final de Berry até "My Ding-a-Ling", em 1971.

Descrição:

A canção fala do casamento de dois adolescentes e o seu estilo de vida depois. Vivendo em um modesto apartamento, o rapaz encontra trabalho e eles começam a desfrutar de uma relativa prosperidade. Eventualmente, eles compram um "souped-up jitney" (um automóvel modificado para alto desempenho) e viajam para Nova Orleans, onde o seu casamento aconteceu, para celebrar o seu aniversário. Cada estrofe termina com o refrão, "C'est la vie,' say the old folks, 'it goes to show you never can tell.'"

You Never Can Tell

Chuck Berry

It was a teenage 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 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

It was a cherry red '53

They drove it down to Orleans

To celebrate the anniversary

It was there that Pierre was married

To the lovely mademoiselle

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 mademoiselle

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
