Round Lights Lyrics

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 through life

 

Just catchin' colds and missin' trains

 

Everything happens to me

 

I never miss 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 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 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
