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...dontcha 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...dontcha 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 everything blows up
|
In your face
|
|
A 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
|
And isn't it ironic...dontcha 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
|
|
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
|
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
|
Helping you out
|
