Black cat creep across my path
Until I'm almost mad
I must have rouse the devil 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 through life just catching cold and missin' trains

Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I've had the measles and the mumps
And every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
I guess I am just a fool who never look before he jump
Everything happens to me

At first my heart thought you can break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But now I just can't fool this head that for me
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
I've telegraphed and phoned
I've send air special too
Your answer was goodbye and there was even postage due
I felt in love just once and then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
At first my heart thought you can break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But now I just can't fool this head that for me
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
I've telegraphed and phoned
I've send air special too
Your answer was goodbye and there was even postage due
I felt in love just once and then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
Poor me
Everything happens to me
