Lyrics

It was a (C)teen age wed ding and the old folks wished ’em well.

You could see that Pi erre did tru ly love the ma da moi selle.

And now the young mon sieur and ma dame have rung the cha pel bell.

C’est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you nev er can (C)tell.

They fur nished (C)teen age wed ding and the old folks wished ’em well.

You could see that Pi erre did tru ly love the ma da moi selle.

And now the young mon sieur and ma dame have rung the cha pel bell.

C’est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you nev er can (C)tell.

About β€œYou Never Can Tell”

Can I sing "You Never Can Tell" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?

Can I sing over "You Never Can Tell" with this accompaniment?
Yes β€” that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does β€” a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
