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 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
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
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 10000 spoons
when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the
man of my dreams
And then meeting
his beautiful husband
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
