Fortune Teller

Went to the fortune teller

Had my fortune read

I didn't know what to tell her

I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Took a look in my palm

she said son you feel kind of warm

she looked into a crystal ball

she said you're in love

How could that be so?

I thought of all the girls I know.

She said when the next one arrives

That you'll be looking into her eyes

Left there in a hurry

Looking forward to my big surprise

The next day I discovered

That the fortune teller told me a lie

I hurried back down to that woman

As mad as I could be

I said I didn't see nobody

Why had she made a fool out of me?

Then something struck me

As if it came from up above

While looking at the fortune teller

I fell in love

Now I'm a happy fellow

'Cause I'm married to the fortune teller

And I'm as happy as we can be

And now I get my fortune told for free
