I make a date for golf
Cnd you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party
Cnd the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go through life
Just catching cold and missing trains
Everything happens to me
I've never missed a thing
I've had the measles and the mumps
Cnd every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
I guess I'm just a fool
Who never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me
Ct first I thought that 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
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
Cnd there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
Cnd then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you
Oh everything happens to me
