[00:14.43]
[00:17.02] I make a date for golf -
[00:20.00] You can bet you life it rains.
[00:24.28] I try to give a party -
[00:28.88] And the guy upstairs complains.
[00:32.43] I guess i'll go thru life;
[00:36.84] Just catchin' colds and missin' trains,
[00:41.52] Ev'rything happens to me.
[00:47.94]
[00:49.00] I never miss a thing -
[00:52.96] I've had measles and the mumps.
[00:57.28] And ev'ry time i play my ace -
[01:02.67] My partner always trumps.
[01:05.22] I guess i'm just a fool;
[01:09.70] Who never looks before he jumps,
[01:13.96] Ev'rything happens to me.
[01:19.24]
[01:22.39] At first my heart tho't;
[01:24.89] You could break this jinx for me.
[01:29.24] That love would turn the trick;
[01:32.48] To end despair.
[01:37.55] But now, i just can't fool;
[01:42.66] This head that thinks for me.
[01:45.78] I've mortgaged all my castles in the air.
[01:52.00]
[01:53.73] I've telegraphed and called;
[01:57.63] I sent "air mail special", too;
[02:02.43] You answer was goodbye -
[02:05.76] And there was even postage due.
[02:10.26] I fell in love just once;
[02:14.39] And then it had to be with you,
[02:18.34] Ev'rything happens to me.
