Lyrics

[00:00.14] Black cats creep across my path
[00:05.79] Until I'm almost mad
[00:07.06] I must have 'roused the devil's wrath
[00:09.64] Cause all my luck is bad
[00:11.10] I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
[00:18.29] I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
[00:22.68] I guess I'll go through life
[00:38.26] Just catchin' colds and missin' trains
[00:45.69] Everything happens to me
[00:51.79] I never miss a thing
[01:04.79] I've had the measles and the mumps
[01:11.35] And every time I play an ace
[01:16.13] My partner always trumps
[01:18.70] Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
[01:30.82] Everything happens to me
[02:07.18] At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
[02:15.85] That love would turn the trick to end despair
[02:20.60] But know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
[02:25.64] I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
[02:32.21] I've telegraphed and phoned
[02:40.30] I send an airmail special too
[02:42.89] Your answer was goodbye
[02:47.14] And there was even postage due
[02:49.68] I fell in love just once
[02:52.84] And then it had to be with you
[03:00.01] Everything happens to me
