Black cats creep across my path until I'm almost mad
|
I must have roused the devil's wrath
|
'Cause all my luck is bad.
|
|
I make a date for golf, and I can bet your life it rains
|
I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains.
|
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains?
|
Ev'rything happens to me.
|
|
I never miss a thing I've got the measles and the mumps,
|
And ev'rytime I play an 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 I thought that you could break this jinx for me,
|
That love would take the trick to end 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 phoned, and I sent an airmail special, too
|
Your answer was "Good bye" 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,
|
Ev'rything happens to me.

Everything happens to me
