Everything Thing Happens to Me

I make a date for golf

And you can bet your life it rains

I try to give a party

And the guy upstairs complains

I guess I'll go through life

Just catching colds and missing trains.

Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing

I've had the measles and the mumps

And every time I play an 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've telegraphed and phoned and sent an air mail special too

Your 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

I've telegraphed and phoned

I sent an air mail special too

Your 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
