| I make a date for golf |
| And you can bet your life it rains |
| I try to throw 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 I thought that you could break this jinx for me |
| That love would turn the trick to end despair |
| 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 airmail 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 |
| Everything happens to me |
