Mina - 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.
I guess I'll go thru life;
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains,
Everything happens to me.

I never miss a thing
I've had measles and the mumps.
And every time I play my ace
My partner always trumps.
I 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 my 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 called;
I sent 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
Everything happens to me.
