Lyrics: Everything Happens To Me

I make a date for golf – and you can bet you life it rains.
I try to give a party - but the guy upstairs complains.
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains;
Everything happens to me.

I never miss a thing - I've had measles and the mumps.
And every time I play my ace my partner always trumps.
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps;
Everything happens to me.

At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me.
That love would turn the trick to end despair.
But now, I just can't fool this head that thinks for me.
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air.

I telegraphed and phoned, and sent an Air Mail Special, too;
You answer was goodbye - and there was even postage due.
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you,
Everything happens to me
