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
