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 when I will 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 tricks and end despair
Oh, 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
You answer was "Goodbye", and there was even postage due
I fell in love just once, but then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
