Jon Astley - Fortune Teller lyrics

[Roger Daltry] Our first gig in England for a very long time... well, it seems like a long time. Actually, it's been about a month and a half, two months. And it's really great to play in England again. This is a— [Crowd cheering] [Roger Daltry] We been over with the Germans, you know, ooh, ugh... [Keith Moon] There was food poisoning in the sauerkraut! [Roger Daltry] They're very tough, actually. This one is a rock and roll song, done by a guy called Benny Spellman, I'm sure you've never heard of him, but I'm sure you've heard of The Rolling Stones, cos they done it— [Keith Moon] The Merseybeats! [Roger Daltry] Ooh, yeah, The Merseybeats, they done it! [Crowd jeering] [Roger Daltry] (laughing) And Wayne Fontana, he did it! And now we do it, it's one called "Fortune Teller." [Keith Moon] And ours is the most important version! [Verse 1: Roger Daltry, Pete Townshend] I went to the fortune teller To have my fortune read I didn't know what to tell her I had a dizzy feeling in my head Said she'd take a look at my palm Said, "Sonny, you feel kind of warm" And she looked into her crystal ball And said, "You're in love" [Verse 2: Roger Daltry, Pete Townshend] I said, "It could not be so Not with all the girls I know" She said, "When the next one arrives Take a look into her eyes [Instrumental break] [Verse 3: Roger Daltry, Pete Townshend] I left there in a hurry Looking forward to my big surprise The next thing I discovered The fortune teller told me lies I hurried right back to that woman Mad as I could be Said, "I didn't see nobody" Why'd she made a fool out of me? At last something shook me As if it came down from above While looking at the fortune teller Now I'm in love
