Lyrics
Gonna find me a gypsy and get my fortune told,
I'm gonna find me a gypsy and get my fortune told.
I'm gonna say please, missus gypsy, tell me what the future will hold.
Honey, a deck of cards and a crystal ball
Won't tell you a thing that you don't already know
The future will almost certainly be whatever you want it to be,
What with rockets, spaceships, computers, inventions
Little buttons you can push, and push,
Let your imagination burst into flame
And it will let you do whatever you damn well choose to do
Given a choice I would choose to have a magic wand that I could use
To draw a melody, from that enchanted maze of grass
And keys and wood and wind and steel
And I would stand there, big and brave, and quietly say
Ladies and Gentlemen, play for me, play for me
and the orchestra plays a beautiful melody
I'm gonna find me a gypsy and get my fortune told.
I'm gonna say please, missus gypsy, tell me what the future will hold.
Honey, a deck of cards and a crystal ball
Won't tell you a thing that you don't already know
The future will almost certainly be whatever you want it to be,
What with rockets, spaceships, computers, inventions
Little buttons you can push, and push,
Let your imagination burst into flame
And it will let you do whatever you damn well choose to do
Given a choice I would choose to have a magic wand that I could use
To draw a melody, from that enchanted maze of grass
And keys and wood and wind and steel
And I would stand there, big and brave, and quietly say
Ladies and Gentlemen, play for me, play for me
and the orchestra plays a beautiful melody
