I Can Tell It by My Horoscope Songtext
von George Formby

I can read the future and tell if fate′s unkind
The stars I've read
I′ll look ahead
And this is what I find
Snowstorms and hails
Blizzards and gales
Through fog our way we grope
But next July
It's going to be dry
I can tell it by me horoscope!

Climbin' last week
A big mountain peak
I slipped down the rocky slope
I cried as I fell
"I′m on me way to bed!
I can tell it by me horoscope!


There′s lucky colours
Lucky stones
Lucky numbers too!
Lucky eight
As sure as fate
Will always pull me through!

My cousin Kate
Is putting on weight
I said, "You're beyond all hope!
Nature′s unkind
Your future's all behind
I can tell it by your horoscope!"

Said grandpa so gay
Mixed bathing one day
"With flappers I still can cope!
I′m older in years
But I've got some young ideas
I can tell it by me horoscope!"

My cousin Joe
Pulled a wishbone with Flo
And said, "For the best let′s hope!"
Then he whispered, "Ooh!
Me wish is coming true
I can tell it by me horoscope!"


There's lucky colours
Lucky stones
Lucky numbers too!
Lucky eight
As sure as fate
Will always pull me through!

I studied stars
Venus and Mars
For Venus there isn't much hope!
She′s all wrapped in gauze
With a pair of flannel socks
I can tell it by her horoscope!
