Everything Happens to Me Songtext
von Woody Herman and His 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 through life
Just catchin' colds and missin′ trains


I never miss a thing
I′ve had the measles 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

At first my heart thought 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 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
