Everything Happens to Me

Everything Happens to Me - Buddy Rich

Black cats creep across my path

Until I'm almost mad

I must have 'roused the devil's wrath

'Cause all my luck is bad

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

I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds

And missing planes

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 girl

Who never looks before she jumps

Everything happens to me

At first my heart thought

You could break this jeans 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

Everything happens to me

I make a date for golf

And you special to

Your answer was good by

And even was good to you

I am falling in love just once has been with you

Everything happens to me

Everything happens to me
