| 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 |
