The Hollies
Fortune Teller
(Naomi Neville)
Track 9 on album 'The Hollies' september 1965

{drums intro}
Ah ah ah ah-ha
Ah ah ah ah-ha

Went to a fortune teller
to have my fortune read.
I didn't know what to tell her,
I had a dizzy feeling in my head.

She took a hold of my palm.
She said "Son you feel kind of warm."
And then she looked into a crystal ball,
she said "You're in love."

I said how could that be so.
I'm not friendly with the girls I know.
She said "When the next one arrives,
you gotta look into her eyes."

Ah ah ah-ha
Ah ah ah-ha
Ah ah ah-ha

I left there in a hurry
looking forward to my big surprise.
The next day I discovered
that the fortune teller told me lies.

I rushed straight back to that woman,
just as mad as I could be.
I said "I didn't see nobody,"
Why'd she made a fool of me?

Then something struck me
like lightning from up above.
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love.

Now I'm a happy fella,
I'm married to the fortune teller.
I'm as happy as I can be,
{spoken:}
Now I get my fortunes told for free.

Ah ah ah ah-ha
Ah ah ah ah-ha
Ah ah ah ah-ha
