Cher – Sing for Your Supper

Sing c’est la vie & 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 (ah!)
He also had apartments to rent up on top
But he didn’t include on the sign that he painted “No pets”
& the tenant who rented had 6 hungry dogs, he regrets
(But he said…)

CHORUS:
When things go wrong, just sing a song
The birds in the trees will sing harmony
Sing c’est la vie & 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 10 times as sad (ah, poor woman!)
With 22 children, a duck & 2 goats in the bins
She was gaily informed by a doctor that she’s having twins
(But she said…)

(chorus)

& have I mentioned to you the worst one of all?
The night Amer & his wife had their annual ball (ah, I remember
that!)
The speeches he makes after dinner became quite renowned
But this time he sneezed when he spoke, & his pants, they fell down
(But they said…)

(chorus)

(C’est la vie!)
