Everything Happens to Me (10-21/22-59) |
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 |
