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, myself, I call it
Fortuosity, that's me byword
Fortuosity, 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 happenstances
(instrumental)
I don't worry 'cause everywhere I see
That every bit of life is lit by fortuosity
(instrumental)
Fortuosity, that's me own word
Fortuosity, me never feel alone word
'Round the corner under a tree
Good fortune's waitin' just wait and see
Fortuosity, lucky chances
Fortuitious little happy happenstances
I keep smilin' 'cause my philosophy
Is do your best and leave the rest to fortuosity
(instrumental)
I keep smilin' 'cause my philosophy
Is do your best and leave the rest to fortuosity
Trivia[]
It acts as John Lawless's theme song throughout the film.
During it, two couples walking their dogs get tied up with their leashes. This gag was originally from One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
It can be sometimes heard on a loop on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland, where it also serves as the namesake of the Fortuosity Shop.
