I make a date for gown

And you can bet your life it rains

I tried 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 everytime I play an ace

My partner always trumps

I guess I'm just a fool

Who never looks before she jumps

Everything happens to me

At first my heart thought you

Would 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

I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

I've telegraphed and phoned

I sent an air mail 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

I've telegraphed and phoned

I sent an air mail 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
