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
Then she took a look at my palm
She said, "Sonny, you feel kinda warm"
And she looked into her crystal ball
And said, "You're in love"
I said, "I couldn't [Incomprehensible] so
I'm not in passion with the girls I know"
She said, "When the next one arrives
You'll be looking into her eyes"
I 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 told her I didn't see nobody
Why'd she make a fool out of me
Then somethin' struck me
As if they came from up above
While lookin' at the fortune teller
I fell in love
Now I'm a happy fellow
Well, I'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we could be
Now I get my fortune told for free
Now I'm a happy fellow
Well, I'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we could be
And I get my fortune told for free
