Everything Happens to Me
I make a date for golfAnd you can bet your life it rainsI try to give a partyAnd the guy upstairs complainsI guess I'll go through lifeJust catching colds and missing trainsAnd everything happens to me
I never miss a thingI've had the measles and the mumpsAnd every time I play an aceMy partner always trumpsI guess I'm just a foolWho never looks before he jumpsEverything happens to me
At first my heart thoughtThat you could break this jinx for meThat love would turn the trick to end despairBut now I just can't fool this head that thinks for meI've mortgaged all my castles in the air
I've telegraphed and phonedSent an airmail special tooYour answer was 'goodbye'And there was even postage dueI fell in love just onceAnd it had to be with youEverything happens to meEverything happens to me
