Fortune Teller

(Naomi Neville)

Track 9 on album 'The Hollies' september 1965



{drums intro}

Ah ah ah ah-ha

Ah ah ah ah-ha



Went to a fortune teller

to have my fortune read.

I didn't know what to tell her,

I had a dizzy feeling in my head.



She took a hold of my palm.

She said "Son you feel kind of warm."

And then she looked into a crystal ball,

she said "You're in love."



I said how could that be so.

I'm not friendly with the girls I know.

She said "When the next one arrives,

you gotta look into her eyes."



Ah ah ah-ha

Ah ah ah-ha

Ah ah ah-ha



I left there in a hurry

looking forward to my big surprise.

The next day I discovered

that the fortune teller told me lies.



I rushed straight back to that woman,

just as mad as I could be.

I said "I didn't see nobody,"

Why'd she made a fool of me?



Then something struck me

like lightning from up above.

While looking at the fortune teller

I fell in love.



Now I'm a happy fella,

I'm married to the fortune teller.

I'm as happy as I can be,

{spoken:}

Now I get my fortunes told for free.



Ah ah ah ah-ha

Ah ah ah ah-ha

Ah ah ah ah-ha
