Music by Richard Sherman and Roger Sherman

Originally Performed by Tommy Steele

"Fortuosity" is the first song in the 1967 motion picture The Happiest Millionaire. It was first performed by Tommy Steele playing the part of "John Lawless" (the butler). The song was written by Robert and Richard Sherman. Richard Sherman stated that the word meant "Faith and Good Fortune".[1] Apparently derived from "fortuitous," which refers to something that happens by fortune or chance,[2] "fortuosity" is a Disney neologism and has a more positive meaning than "fortuitous" or that word's standard noun form, "fortuity," which means accident, chance, or an accidental occurrence.[3] Steele also sings the song, "I'll Always Be Irish", in the movie
