C'est Le Vie - by French and Saunders
A parody of ABBA with the similar tune of Knowing Me Knowing you and their music video is in the style of ABBA. With Jennifer playing Agnetha and Dawn as Anna-Frid.
We're ba-ba-back against the ropes,
Just waiting for the final bell.
I'll throw in my towel,
And cash in my chips as well.
I roll the dice, I deal the cards,
I spin the wheel to see.
That a Danish guy in olden times,
How it's to be or not to be.
The other day it made no sense,
You saw that beard gave me offence.
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
C'est good for you, c'est bad for me
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
C'est what will be, will be, will be
C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est good for you, C'est bad for me
(Most definitely)
C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est what will be, will be, will be
(Be be, be be, be be, be be)
I don't mean to be a drag.
You ARE a drag.
And recount our story with contempt.
Aha.
You see, I turned the page last night.
You turned a page?
Found you there with my best friend.
She's your best friend?
Has our final whistle blown?
Has it blown?
Will we find love in extra time?
I don't know.
We never seem to play at home.
Not any more.
And I'm left here on the touchline.
You've been sent off.
I roll the dice and spin the wheel to see,
If our love is now a casualty.
C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est good for you, C'est bad for me
(Quite bad for me)
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est what will be, will be, will be
(Be be, be be, be be, be be)
C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est good for you, C'est bad for me
(Quite seriously)
C'est la vie, C'est la vie
(C'est la, C'est la, C'est la vie)
C'est what will be, will be, will be
(Be be, be be, be be, be be)
