Everything Happens to Me - Buddy Rich/Lee Castle/Various Artists/Frank Wess/Herb Ellis/Oscar Peterson/Ray Brown/Louis Bellson/Howard Gibeling Orchestra
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 just catching colds
And missing planes
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
I guess I'm just a girl
Who never looks before she jumps
Everything happens to me
At first my heart thought
You could break this jeans 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
I make a date for golf
And you special to
Your answer was good by
And even was good to you
I am falling in love just once has been with you
Everything happens to me
Everything happens to me
