C’est La Vie     © L Dunn 2014 (edited)         

Verse
There outta be a law if you work all day
You can take home some of your hard earned pay
Work all month, further in debt
Wonder what it takes to get ahead
To pay the bills I took a second job
Till the work dried up, I got laid off
Now tryin’ to square these IOU’s
Is like tryin’ to fit a 10 in a size 8 shoe
Chorus I
C’est la vie, that’s the way it goes
No jingle in the pocket, nothin’ to show
C’est la vie so c’est la vie
Verse
Juggle and side step, borrow a dime
Dance with the devil if it gets me mine
Tryin’ to find a way to make a good thing last
And just getting’ by, getting’ nowhere fast
Save it up that’s the trick they say
Save it up for a rainy day
Well lately when it rains it pours
And a dollar doesn’t go that far no more
Chorus II
C’est la vie, that’s the way it goes
No jingle in the pocket, nothin’ to show
C’est la vie so c’est la vie
C’est la vie, that’s the way life goes
Too little dough in the row I hoe
C’est la vie so c’est la vie
Bridge
Oh…oh…oh…
C’est la vie that’s the way life goes
Verse
Be it rich man, poor man, commander in chief
It doesn’t matter when you’re wrapped in a winding sheet
Can’t take it with you when you go
That’s one thing I know for sure
Chorus II                 
(plus tag ending…C’est la vie, c’est la vie)
