Black cats creep a-cross my path un-til I'm al-most mad.
I must have 'roused the dev-il'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 part-y and the guy up-stairs com-plains.
I guess I'll go thru life just cath-in' colds and miss-in trains...

Ev-'ry-thing hap-pens to me.___I nev-er miss a thing.
I've had the meas-les and the mumps,
and ev-'ry time I play an ace my part-ner al-ways trumps.
I guess I'm just a fool who nev-er looks be-fore he jumps.

Ev-'ry-thing hap-pens to me__
At first my heart tho't you could break this jinx for me.
that love would turn the trick to end des-pair.
But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me.

I've mort-gaged all my cas-tles in the air._____
I've tel - e -graphed and phoned.
I sent an "Air - mail Spec -ial" too.
Your ans-wer was "good - by," and there was ev-en pos-tage due.
I fell in love just once and then it had to be with you.___
Ev-'ry -thing hap - pens to me._____
