An old man turned ninetyeight
He won the lottery
and died the next day
It's a black fly
in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon
two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic
don't you think
It's like rain
on your wedding day
It's a free ride
when you've already paid
It's the good advice
that you just didn't take
Who would've thought
it figures
Mr Play It
Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase
and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn
life to take that flight
And as the plane
crashed down he thought
Well isn't this nice
And isn't it ironic
don't you think
It's like rain on your
wedding day
It's a free ride
when you've already paid
It's the good advice
that you just didn't take
Who would've thought it figures
Well life has a funny way
of sneaking up on you
When you think
everything's okay
and everything's going right
And life has a funny way
of helping you out
when You think
everything's gone wrong
and everthing blows up
In your face
A traffic jam
when you're already late
A nosmoking sign on your
cigarette break
It's like 10000 spoons
when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the
man of my dreams
And then meeting
his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic
don't you think
A little too ironic
and yeah I really do think
It's like rain on your
wedding day
It's a free ride
when you've already paid
It's the good advice
that you just didn't take
Who would've thought
it figures
Well life has a funny way of
sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of
helping you out
Helping you out
