Lyrics:

Black cats creep across my path until I'm almost mad
I must have raised the devils wrath
'Cause all my luck is bad

I make a date for golf
And you can bet your life it rains
I try and throw a party, and the man upstairs complains
Well I guess I go through life just catching colds and missing trains
Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing, I've had the measles and the mumps
And when I play my ace well my partner always trumps
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks, before he jumps
Everything happens to me

At first, my heart thought you might end this jinx for me
Somehow love might turn a trick and end my despair
Alas now I just can't fool this heart that thinks for me
I've gone and mortgaged all my castles up in the air

I've telegraphed and phoned, sent an airmail special to
Your answer was goodbye, there was even postage due
I fell in love just once and it had to be with you
Everything happens to me

Yes I have telegraphed and phoned, sent an airmail special to
Your answer was goodbye, there was even postage due
Well girl I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you
Everything happens, to-ooh-ooh-ooh me
