          Says Google. You Never Can Tell” by Chuck Berry is interesting because it was written while he was serving time in prison, details a seemingly ordinary teenage couple’s life with witty observations, features a memorable piano hook played by Johnnie Johnson, and is considered one of his last truly popular hits, showcasing his lyrical genius even after a period away from the music scene; the song’s title itself reflects the unpredictable nature of life, which is a recurring theme in Berry’s music.
          Key points about “You Never Can Tell”:
          Prison composition:
          Chuck Berry wrote the song while incarcerated for violating the Mann Act, transporting a minor across state lines.
          Everyday story:
          The lyrics paint a detailed picture of a young couple’s life after marriage, including their apartment furnishings and a trip to New Orleans in a “cherry red ’53” car.
          Sharp observations:
          Despite being about a seemingly mundane life, Berry’s lyrics are full of clever details and witty commentary, highlighting his ability to observe everyday life.
          Piano hook:
          The song features a distinctive piano riff played by Johnnie Johnson, a key element that adds to the song’s recognizable sound.

          Lyrics

          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 two 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
          Seven hundred 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, ’twas a cherry red ’53
          They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
          It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
          “C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

              Lyrics
              Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
              Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
              Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
              I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
              Because I’m easy come, easy go
              Little high, little low
              Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me
              Mama, just killed a man
              Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
              Mama, life had just begun
              But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
              Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry
              If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
              Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
              Too late, my time has come
              Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time
              Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to go
              Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
              Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows)
              I don’t wanna die
              I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all
              I see a little silhouetto of a man
              Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
              Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
              (Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro, magnifico
              But I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me
              He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
              Spare him his life from this monstrosity
              Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
              بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
              No, we will not let you go (let him go)
              بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
              We will not let you go (let him go)
              بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
              We will not let you go (let me go)
              Will not let you go (let me go)
              Will not let you go (never, never, never, never let me go)
              No, no, no, no, no, no, no
              Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia
              Mamma mia, let me go
              Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
              So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
              So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
              Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby
              Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
              Ooh
              Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
              Nothing really matters, anyone can see
              Nothing really matters
              Nothing really matters to me
