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 kust catchin colds and missin` trains
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
Guess I`m just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me
At first my heart tho`t 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 castlesin 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
