Baby's getting married at the Taco Bell
She don't like her daddy, can go to Hell
'Cause he don't let go, he sees
That she loves that boy, 'cause he dreams about her
Running through the streets of Philadelphia
Never thought he'd see the day he married her
'Cause he drives a limousine
And she was the hometown pageant queen

So Daddy shot him in the streets
He died at seventeen
Goodnight, c'est la vie
Goodnight, that's when the
American dream died on Easy Street
Saying: Goodnight, c'est la vie
Goodnight, c'est la vie
