Sing C'est La Vie lyrics

Sing C'est La Vie

And soon you will see

Your cares will be free

Just sing C'est La Vie

I once knew a man

Who owned a butcher shop

He also had apartments

To rent up on top

But he didn't include on the sign

That he painted "no pets"

And the tenant who rented

Had six hungry dogs he regrets

But he said when things go wrong

Just sing this song

The birds in the trees

Will sing harmony

If you think the old women

Who lived in the shoe had it bad

The story of Mrs. Pierre is ten times as sad

Poor woman with twenty-two children

A duck, and two goats in the bin

She was gaily informed by a doctor

That she is having twins

But she said when things go wrong

Just sing this song

The birds in the trees

Will sing harmony

Have I mention to you the worst one of all

The night a mayor and his wife

Had their annual ball

I remember the speeches

He makes after dinner

Became quit renowned

But this time he sneezed when he spoke

And his pants they fell down

But they said when things go wrong

Just sing this song

The birds in the trees

Will sing harmony

C'est La Vie
