Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I’m going to buy a submarine
A motor boat or two
An airship and such things as that
And half of the ocean blue
I may invest in the Brooklyn bridge
Or build a house of gold
I’m really happy as I can be
Since I have had my fortune told
Chorus
Since I’ve had my fortune told
Since I’ve had my fortune told
Skies look sunny, winds blow fair
I’ll bid farewell to work and care
All the world will envy me
And from trouble I’ll be free
Soon I will be a millionaire
That’s what I have been told
- I’m going to live a hundred years
I’ll marry eighteen times
I’ll travel all through foreign lands
And I’ll live in distant climes
My life will be just one pleasant dream
I never will grow old
Everything looks so changed to me
Since I have had my fortune told
