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?
Chorus:
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 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?
Repeat Chorus
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 everythings gone
wrong and everything blows up in your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
a no-smoking-sign on your zigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the men of my dreams an then meeting his beautiful wife
and isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
a little too ironic And yeah i really do think
Repeat Chorus
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
helping you out
