lyrics

I get an outdoor gig, you can bet your life it rains
I try to practice saxophone, the guy upstairs complains
Have a gig this evening, but my tux has ketchup stains
Everything happens to me

My boyfriend plays the piano like he's driving over bumps
But he plays all the nice hotels and I play all the dumps
I lost all my gigs last month because I had the mumps
Everything happens to me

I guess I should have taken mother's sound advice
and gotten married to a billionaire
But being rich and famous always has its price
I can't deal with the makeup and the hair

I guess I'll keep on working
though the gigs I have are few
I'm too old to die young, and the rent is almost due
Consulted with my psychic but she hasn't got a clue
Everything happens to me
