sing c est la vie

Sonny & Cher

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 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

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

And 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
