Everything Happens To Me

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 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 catchin' colds and missin' trains

I never miss a thing

I've had the measles and the mumps

And every time I play an ace

My partner always trumps

Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps

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

That love would turn the trick to end despair

But know 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 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
