Is this the same title as the Matt Dennis/Tom Adair song? Did Mercer use the same title, or is this a mistake?

A few days before this board went down in July, someone posted a message concerning "Everything Happens To Me." They referred to the Tom Adair/Matt Dennis hit and were wondering if there was an error in the Mercer databases. No, that is not an error. Johnny Mercer wrote "Everything Happens To Me" with Hoagy Carmichael about two years before Adair and Dennis wrote theirs. Repeating of song titles was and is still very common.

I know there is another thread concerning this, but I'm not clear on which version of "Everything Happens to Me" is the Mercer/Carmichael version, or if it is the same song as the Dennis/Adair version. Could I possibly get the words to this also? Thanks so much
