Fortuosity - Tommy Steele

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 byword

Fortuosity, 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 happenstances

I don’t worry 'cause everywhere I see

That every bit of life is lit by fortuosity

Fortuosity, that’s me own word

Fortuosity, me never feel alone word

'Round the corner under a tree

Good fortune’s waitin' just wait and see

Fortuosity, lucky chances

Fortuitious little happy happenstances

I keep smilin' 'cause my philosophy

Is do your best and leave the rest to fortuosity

I keep smilin' 'cause my philosophy

Is do your best and leave the rest to fortuosity
