Ironic

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

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
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 this 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
Who would've thought
It figures

Well life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everythings going right

And life has a funny way
Of helping you out
When you think evertyhing's gone wrong
And everthing blows up in your face

A traffic jam
When you're already late
A no-smoking sign
On your cigarette break

It's like 10,000 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
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

Well life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way
Of helping you out
Helping you out
