Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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, 'twas 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

Overall Meaning

Berry’s song “Girl” tells the story of a teenage couple who gets married despite the skepticism of their elders. The song starts off with a description of the wedding and how the old folks wished the couple well. The lyrics then focus on the young couple and how they furnished their apartment with basic necessities, including a hi-fi phono system with rock, rhythm, and jazz records. The couple bought a souped-up jitney, which they drove to New Orleans to celebrate their first anniversary. The harmonious melody of the music, which played on the radio, accompanies the carefree spirit that the young couple enjoys.

The song’s lyrics portray the idea of how love is blind and that it can overcome societal norms and restrictions. The lyrics suggest that material possessions, such as a coolerator full of TV dinners, are not necessary for love to thrive. The song also suggests that love is the ultimate adventure and that there are always new things to discover.
