It's a tale of woe from a guy who nothing ever goes right for. The punch line is at the end.

I make a date for golf
And you can bet your life it rains
I try to throw a party
But, the guy upstairs complains
Guess I'll go through life
Just catching colds and missing trains
Everything happens to me
I get everything
I've had the measles and the mumps
And when I play an ace
That's when my partner always trumps
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 could 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 telegraphed and phoned
I sent an airmail special, too
Your answer was "good-bye"
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me
