i make a date for golf -
you can bet you life it rains.
i try to give a party -
and the guy upstairs complains.
i guess i'll go thru life;
just catchin' colds and missin' trains,
ev'rything happens to me.
i never miss a thing -
i've had measles and the mumps.
and ev'ry time i play my ace -
my partner always trumps.
i guess i'm just a fool;
who never looks before he jumps,
ev'rything happens to me.
at first my heart tho't;
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 called;
i sent "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,
ev'rything happens to me.
