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

Sing C'est La Vie
And soon you will see
Your cares will be free
Just sing C'est La Vie

If you think the old woman
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
Sing C'est La Vie
And soon you will see
Your cares will be free
Just sing C'est La Vie

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

Sing C'est La Vie
And soon you will see
Your cares will be free
Just sing C'est La Vie

C'est La Vie
