Everything 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 catchin’ colds and missin’ trains
Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I’ve had the measles and the mumps
And when I play an ace
My partner always trumps
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 know 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
I send an “Airmail 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
