Everything Happens To Me Lyrics - Stan Kenton And His Orchestra

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 through life 

Just catchin' colds 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 

Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps 

Everything happens to me 

At first my heart thought 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 castles in 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
