Lyrics
- I always win at the races
Very strange but it’s true
Every time I play roulette
Seems I cash in every bet
And I get plenty of aces
Playing poker, I do
Winning in a gambling game
Seems to be my middle name, But
Refrain
I’m so unlucky, unlucky in love
There’s something about me
That makes a girl do without me
I’m always finding somebody to love,
I find her, and then I lose her again
Meet her on Monday and say “Hello”
Take her out Tuesday to see a show
Tell her on Wedn’sday how much I care
Call her up Thursday and get the air
And then it’s all over on Friday
Friday’s my day, my “Goodbye” day
I’m so unlucky, unlucky in love
- I’ve got a dozen addresses
In my little red book
Every time I make a call
I’m quite welcome, but that’s all
For when it comes to caresses
They just give me a look
Someone that they’re wild about
Walks right in as I go out, for
