Bilingual
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
I 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 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
I sent an airmail special too
Your answer was goodbye
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
Then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
ย
I've never drawn a sweepstake
Or a bank night at a show
I thought perhaps this time I'd won
But Lady Luck said no
And though it breaks my heart
I'm not surprised to see you go
Everything happens to me
