Everything Happens To Me – Eddie Harris – letras

Black cats creep across my pathUntil I’m almost mad I must have ‘roused the devil’s wrathCause 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 lifeJust catchin’ colds and missin’ trainsEverything happens to me I never miss a thingI’ve had the measles and the mumpsAnd every time I play an aceMy partner always trumpsGuess I’m just a fool who never looks before he jumpsEverything happens to meAt first my heart thought you could break this jinx for meThat love would turn the trick to end despairBut know I just can’t fool this head that thinks for meI’ve mortgaged all my castles in the airI’ve telegraphed and phoned I send an « Airmail Special » tooYour answer was « Goodbye »And there was even postage due I fell in love just onceAnd then it had to be with youEverything happens to me
