From the recording C'est La Vie
Lyrics
Get yourself a friend you can believe in
Someone you can suck a lemon with
Don’t let misfortune walk all over you
Miss Pollyanna get the best of you
Drain that glass before somebody fills it up
Put away those tinted glasses
Let it rain on your parade
C’est la vie – misery loves company
A touch of pride, a drop of envy
You’ve got yourself a recipe
Don’t be fooled when honesty takes itself too seriously
Let the wings of irony deliver you from tyranny
C’est la vie… mais oui… C’est la vie
Settle for just any fair-weather friend
And you will end up stranded on a rainy day
Don’t let goodie-two-shoes iron out your frown
Put an end to your reign take away your crown
Find yourself a mate who shares your distaste
Go ahead and crack a smile
This world will turn it upside down
C’est la vie – misery loves company
A touch of pride, a drop of envy
You got yourself a recipe
Don’t be fooled when honesty takes itself too seriously
Let the wings of irony deliver you from tyranny
C’est la vie… mais oui… C’est la vie
