Richard M. Sherman
Fortuosity
{JOHN LAWLESS}
Well now
Ain't this an elegant neighborhood
All the residents dress 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

(spoken)
Now you may call that luck
And you may call it fortune
But me meself
(sung)
I call it

Fortuosity
Thats me byword
Fortuosity
Thats me twinkle-in-the-eye word
Sometimes castles fall to the ground
But that's where four leafed c-lovers 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

(dance break)

Fortuosity
Thats me own word
Fortuosity
Me never-feel-alone word
'Round the corner under a tree
Good fortunes wait and wait and see

Fortuosity
Lucky chances
Fortuitious little
Happy happenstances
I keep smiling 'cause my philosophy
Is do your best and leave the rest to fortuosity

I keep smiling 'cause my philosophy
Is do your best and leave the rest to fortuosity
