Chuck Berry - You Never Can Tell
It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
They furnished off an apartment with a 2-room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
700 little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red '53
And drove it down to 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 them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell" ...

이 노래가 히트할 무렵에는 흑인의 노래가 아무리 좋아도 앨범을 제작해서
발표한다는 것은 꿈도 꾸지 못할 정도로차별이 심했던 시기 입니다.
브랜다 리의 목소리로 발표한 후에 척베리의 인기는 올라가는 기현상이
일어납니다.백인 남자들의 호응에 척베리는 일약 스타로 등극하지요.
이후로도 그의 영향을 받지 않은 스타가 없을 정도로 그의 영향력은
엄청난 파급력을 가집니다.
