about

I went to have my fortune told and while I was there the woman made a pass at me.
She was a Medium and she said I was a small.

lyrics

Gypsy Rose Lee

By Bill Bates

I met girl called Rosey Lee
in a Gypsy in caravan
I asked her tell my fortune
would happy man?
She said "Cross my palm with silver
And I promise to impress
If you haven’t got any silver
I take American Express"

Do you want to know the future
Do you see the things I see
If you want to know the future
Ask Gypsy Rose Lee

She got out her crystal ball
she knew the things I do
She knew my allergy
to head & shoulders shampoo
she looked into her crystal ball
I asked “What can you see”?
“I can see a Mars Bar”
said Gipsy Rose a - Lee

Do you want to know the future
Do you see the things I see
If you want to know the future
Ask Gypsy Rose Lee

Would I have long life?
Or would I go insane
After singing here
will I ever get booked again?
she toolmy hand and looked at me
and then my palm was red
You will down very well at the XXXXXX folk festival
was what the Gipsy said

Next she tried her healing hands
she said she'd heal my pain
It didn't hurt where it touched
But I’m not one to complain
She seemed disappointed
But I was no good at all
She said "Bill I am a Medium
but yr definitely a small”

Do you want to know the future
Do you see the things I see
If you want to know the future
Ask Gypsy Rose Lee

She could see the future,
This Gipsy Rose a - Lee
So I asked the numbers on the Euro lottery
She looked me with staring eyes
And I waited for her plan
She said if I could do that
Would I be living in a caravan?

Do you want to know the future
Do you see the things I see
If you want to know the future
Ask Gypsy Rose Lee

Bill Bates Royal Leamington Spa, UK

I am a Warwickshire based singer songwriter and I perform my songs in folk clubs and festivals. My songs are (almost) autobiographical and often about the ordinary things in life, such as caravan holidays, recycling and a song about a Mars Bar party (where people are supposed to have took their clothes off!) Some of my songs are funny, other songs are serious; either way I hope you like them! ... more
