You Never Can Tell   (Chuck Berry) - STING 21718   (Wil Stans)

 (Opener): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the Mademoiselle

 - FOUR LADIES CHAIN ACROSS AND BACK

And now the young Monsieur and Madame have rung the chapel bell

 - PROMENADE
"C'est la vie" say the old folks - it goes to show you never can tell

 (Figure): The HEADS SQUARE THRU and get me FOUR hands ‘round you do - DO SA DO

You SWING THRU and then BOYS RUN - FERRIS WHEEL - PASS THRU

TOUCH A QUARTER - SCOOTBACK - SCOOTBACK - SWING and PROMENADE that Lady ‘round you go

"C'est la vie" say the old folks - it goes to show you never can tell

 (Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The Coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale

- FOUR LADIES CHAIN ACROSS AND BACK

But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well

 - You PROMENADE
"C'est la vie" say the old folks - it goes to show you never can tell

 (Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

They bought a souped-up Jitney ’twas a cherry red '53
And drove it down to Orleans to celebrate their anniversary

 - FOUR LADIES CHAIN ACROSS AND BACK

It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely Mademoiselle

 - You PROMENADE
"C'est la vie" say the old folks - it goes to show you never can tell

 (Tag): SWING your Girl –

"C'est la vie" say the old folks - it goes to show you never can tell

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

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 was a cherry red '53
And drove it down 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 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
