An old man, turned 98
|
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 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
|
And 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?
|
Don't you think?
|
A little too ironic?
|
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
|
And who would've thought?
|
It figures
|
|
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
|
And life has a funny, funny way, of helping you out
|
Helping you out
|
