Ironic Lyrics

An old man turned ninety-eight
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
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
And who would've thought... it figuresMr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
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
And who would've thought... it figuresWell, 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 everything blows up in your faceA traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons
When all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife, hm...
And isn't it ironic... don't you think?
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do thinkIt'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
And who would've thought... it figuresLife has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way, helping you out
Helping you out
