Lyrics : Tom Adair
Music : Tom Adair/Matt Dennis
l make a date for golf
and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party
and the guy up-stairs complains
I guess I'll go thru life
just catching colds and missing trains
Everything happens to me
l never missed a thing
l've had the measles and the mumps
And every time l play an ace
My partner always trumps
I guess l’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
So l've mortgaged all my castles in the air
l'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
Da da da…
l'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
