Everything Happens to Me

Thomas Francis "Tommy" Dorsey, Jr. (November 19, 1905 - November 26, 1956) was an American jazz trombonist, trumpeter, composer, and bandleader of the Big Band era. He was known as "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", due to his smooth-toned trombone playing. Although he was not known for being a notable soloist, his technicality with the trombone gave him renown amongst other musicians. He was vastly admired by other musicians, however, for his technical skill on his instrument. He was the younger brother of bandleader Jimmy Dorsey. After Dorsey broke with his brother in the mid-1930s, he led an extremely popular and highly successful band from the late 1930s into the 1950s. more »

I make a date for golf
You can bet you 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
Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing,
I've had measles and the mumps
And every time I play my 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 tho't,
You could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick
To end my 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 called,
I sent air mail special, too
You 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
