I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go thru life kust catchin colds and missin' trains...

Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing
I've had the measels 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 I 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...
