An old man turned 98
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?
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 goodbye
He worked his whole damn life to take that flight
And when his 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
And who would've thought - it figures!
Well, life's a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everything's going right
And then 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're running late
No smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like fork in the road when all you need is a knife
It's meeting him in my dreams
And me and his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And you 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
And who would've thought - it figures!
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
