쳇 베이커 - Everything Happens to Me

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 Ill go thru life 
Just catchin colds and missin trains, 
Everything happens to me. 

I never miss a thing 
Ive had measles and the mumps. 
And every time I play my ace 
My partner always trumps. 
I guess Im just a fool 
Who never looks before he jumps, 
Everything happens to me. 

At first my heart thot 
You could break this jinx for me. 
That love would turn the trick 
To end my despair. 
But now, I just cant fool 
This head that thinks for me. 
Ive mortgaged all my castles in the air. 

Ive 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, 
Everything happens to me.
