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
