Lyrics

Writer(s): dennis/adair

I make a date for golf – and you can bet you life it rains
I try to give a party - but the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains;
Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing - I've had measles and the mumps
And every time I play my ace my partner always trumps
I guess I'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
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

I telegraphed and phoned, and sent an air mail special, too;
You 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
