Stan Kenton — Everything Happens to Me

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 Guess I'll go through life just catching colds and missing trains Everything happens to me I've never missed a thing, I've had the measles and the mumps And every time I play an ace, my partner always trumps Guess I'm just a gal who never looks before she jumps Everything happens to me At first my heart thought you could break the 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, sent an air mail special too Your answer was goodbye, there was even postage due I fell in love just once and then it had to be with you Everything happens to me I've telegraphed and phoned, sent an air mail 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 I fell in love just once and then it had to be with you Oh, Everything happens to me
