Sing C'est La Vie
And soon you will see
Your cares will be free
Just sing C'est La VieI once knew a man
Who owned a butcher shop
He also had apartments
To rent up on topBut he didn't include on the sign
That he painted, "No pets"
And the tenant who rented
Had six hungry dogs he regretsBut he said, "When things go wrong
Just sing this song
The birds in the trees
Will sing harmony"Sing C'est La Vie
And soon you will see
Your cares will be free
Just sing C'est La VieIf you think the old women
Who lived in the shoe had it bad
The story of Mrs. Pierre
Is ten times as sadPoor woman with twenty-two children
A duck and two goats in the bin
She was gaily informed by a doctor
That she is having twinsBut she said, "When things go wrong
Just sing this song
The birds in the trees
Will sing harmony"Sing C'est La Vie
And soon you will see
Your cares will be free
Just sing C'est La VieAnd have I mention to you the worst one of all
The night a mayor and his wife
Had their annual ball
I remember the speechesHe makes after dinner
Became quit renowned
But this time he sneezed when he spoke
And his pants, they fell downBut they said, "When things go wrong
Just sing this song
The birds in the trees
Will sing harmony"Sing C'est La Vie
And soon you will see
Your cares will be free
Just sing C'est La VieC'est La Vie
