Walt Disney's "The Happiest Millionaire" 'Fortuosity'

The opening song, "Fortuosity", from Walt Disney's last live-action film, "The Happiest Millionaire".

Lyrics:
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 by-word.

Fortuosity, that's 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 happen-stances.

I don't worry 'cause everywhere I see

That every bit of life is lit by Fotuosity.




Fortuosity, that's me own word.

Fortuosity, me never feel alone word.

'Round a corner, under a tree.

Good fortune's waiting, just wait and see!

Fortuosity, lucky chances.

Fortuitious little happy happen-stances.

I keep smiling 'cause my philosophy

Is do your best and leave the rest to

Fortuosity!

Tommy Steele is so animated in this! I really like this movie.

In my humble opinion, it blows High School Musical out of the water! I miss older Disney stuff.
