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 to late 
isn't it ironic... don't you think

R: 
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 have thought... it figures 

Mr. pay-it-safe was afraid to fly 
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye 
He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight 
And as the plane crashed down he thouht "well isn't this nice..." 
and isn't it ironic... don't you think? 

R:


Well life has a funny way of 
sneaking up on you when you think everything is 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 are 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 like meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife 

and isn't it ironic... don't you think? 
a little too ironic... and yeah i really do think... 

R: 

life has a funny way of sneaking up on you 
life has a funny, funny way of helping you out 
helping you out
