I make a date for golf
You can bet you 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
Ev`rything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I`ve had measles and the mumps
And ev`ry time I play my ace
My partner always trumps
I guess I`m just a fool
Who never looks before he jumps
Ev`rything happens to me
At first my heart tho`t
You could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick
To end my 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 called
I sent 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
Ev`rything happens to me
