Tommy Steele Fortuosity Lyrics

Well now, ain't this an elegant neighborhood,

All the residents dressed so fine.

One day off the boat am I with a job that's nearly mine.

'Tis a job with an elegant millionaire and his elegant family.

Today I move from immigrant to high society.

Now you may call that luck, and you may call it fortune,

But me, meself, I call it...



Fortuosity, that's me by-word.

Fortuosity, that's me twinkle in the eye word.

Sometimes castles fall to the ground,

But that's where four leaf clovers are found.
Fortuosity, lucky chances.

Fortuitious little happy happen-stances.

I don't worry 'cause everywhere I see

That every bit of life is lit by Fotuosity.



Fortuosity, that's me own word.

Fortuosity, me never feel alone word.

'Round a corner, under a tree.

Good fortune's waiting, just wait and see!

Fortuosity, lucky chances.

Fortuitious little happy happen-stances.

I keep smiling 'cause my philosophy

Is do your best and leave the rest to

Fortuosity!
