Everything Happens to Me (2021 Remastered Version) - Ella Fitzgerald

Written by：Adair

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 catchin' colds and missin' trains

Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing

I've had the measles and the mumps

And every time I play an ace

My partner always trumps

I guess I'm just a fool

Who never looks before he jumps

Everything happens to me

At first my heart thought

You could break this jinx for me

That love would turn

The trick to end despair

But now 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 sent an air mail 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 happen to me

At first my heart thought

You could break this jinx for me

That love would turn

The trick to end despair

But now 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 sent an air mail 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 poor me

Everything happens to me
