|
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 thru life kust catchin colds and missin' trains |
|
Everything happens to me |
|
I never miss a thing |
|
I've had the measels 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 |
|
Everything 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 know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me |
|
I've mortgaged all my castlesin 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 |
|
Everything happens to me |
