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
it had to be with you
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
it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
