Black cats creep across my pathnUntil I'm almost madnI must have 'roused the devil's wrathnCause all my luck is badnI make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rainsnI try to give a party and the guy upstairs complainsnI guess I'll go through life nJust catchin' colds and missin' trainsnnEverything happens to menI never miss a thingnI've had the measles and the mumpsnAnd every time I play an acenMy partner always trumpsnGuess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumpsnnEverything happens to menAt first my heart thought you could break this jinx for menThat love would turn the trick to end despairnBut know I just can't fool this head that thinks for menI've mortgaged all my castles in the airnI've telegraphed and phonednI send an 'Airmail Special' toonYour answer was 'Goodbye'nAnd there was even postage duenI fell in love just oncenAnd then it had to be with younnEverything happens to me
