Buddy Rich - Everything Happens To Me lyrics

Black cats walk 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 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 my heart thought you could break this jinx for me That love would turn the trick to end 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 phoned, sent an 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 I've telegraphed and phoned, sent an 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
