Helen Merrill - Everything Happens to Me

I make a date for golf

You can bet your life it rains

I try to throw a party

The guy upstairs complains

I guess I'll go thru life

Catchin' colds and missin' trains

Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing

I've had the measles and the mumps

Every time I play an ace

My partner always trumps

I guess I'm just a can't

Who never looks before she jumps

Everything happens to me

At first my heart thought

You could break this jinx for me

That you 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 phoned

Sent an Air Mail Special too

You answer was goodbye

There was even postage due

I fell in love just once

It had to be with you

Everything happens to me
