Chet Baker - Everything happens to me

I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to throw a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go through life just catching colds and missing 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
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me

At first I thought that you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
Now I just can't fool this this head that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air

I've telegraphed and phoned and sent an airmail special too
Your answer was goodbye and there was even postage due
I fell in love just once - it had to be with you
Everything happens to me.

[scat singing]

I've telegraphed and phoned and sent 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
The verse to this tune is almost never sung..and quite pretty. Here it is..

Black cats creep across
My path until I'm almost mad
I must have 'roused the devils's wrath
'Cause all my luck is bad
