Ironic

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah oh oh oooh
An old man, turned 98
Won the lottery and died the next day
It's the back fly in your chardonnay
It's the death row pardon, two minutes too late.

And isn't ironic, don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day,
It's the free ride, when you've already paid
It's the good advice, that you just didn't take
And who would have thought, it figures?

Mr Play-it safe was afraid to fly
Packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane went 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 the free ride, when you've already paid
It's the good advice, that you just didn't take
And who would have thought, it figures?

And life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when
you think everything's OK and everythings going fine
and life has a funny way of helping you out
When everythings going wrong and everything blows up in your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no smoking sign on your cigarrete break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's like meeting the man of your dreams
And them meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic, dont you think?
A little too ironic, and I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day,
Its the free ride, when you've already paid
It's the good advice, that you just didn't take
And who would have thought, it figures?

Yeh, yah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
