Bob & Tom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of Bob & Tom's song C'est la Vie tells the story of a teenage wedding that the old folks were happy for, despite knowing that marriage is unpredictable. It is evident from the beginning that Pierre and the mademoiselle were in love and were starting a new journey in a very humble apartment, filled with TV dinners and ginger ale. Despite the meager resources, the two were persistent, and Pierre got a job to support them both. They enjoyed music, and their hi-fi phono system played 700 little records of rock, rhythm, blues, and jazz. Though they lived in a small apartment, they celebrated their anniversary driving a cherry red '53 jitney down to New Orleans.
The lyrics depict how life is unpredictable and full of surprises. The phrase "C'est la vie" serves as a reminder that life is prone to uncertainties and that one should appreciate the present moment. The phrase loosely translates to "That's life" or "Such is life," meaning that things happen, but life goes on regardless. Although the young couple faced several challenges in their marriage, they persevered and continued to love each other. The song reminds its listeners that life is full of twists and turns, but one should cherish the good times while enduring the bad.
