l make a date for golf

and you can bet your life it rains

I try to give a party

and the guy up-stairs complains

I guess I'll go thru life

just catching colds and missing trains

Everything happens to me

l never missed a thing

l've had the measles and the mumps

And every time l play an ace

My partner always trumps

I guess l’m just a fool

who never looks before he jumps

Everything happens to me

At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me

That love would turn the trick to end despair

But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me

So l've mortgaged all my castles in the air

l've telegraphed and phoned

I send an 'Airmail Special' too

Your answer was 'Goodbye

And there was even postage due

I fell in love just once

And then it had to be with you

Everything happens to me

Da da da…

l've telegraphed and phoned

I send an 'Airmail Special' too

Your answer was 'Goodbye

And there was even postage due

I fell in love just once

And then it had to be with you

Everything happens to me
