Hey, yeah, yeah

Yeah, ah- ah- ah, yeah

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

Andisn't it ironic?

Don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride whenyou've already paid

It's the good advice that you justdidn't take

And whowould've thought? It figures

Mr. Play- It- Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

And as the plane crashed down

He thought," Well,isn't this nice?"

Andisn't it ironic?

Don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride whenyou've already paid

It's the good advice that you justdidn't take

And whowould've thought? It figures

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you thinkeverything's okay andeverything's going right

And life has a funny way of helping you out

When you thinkeverything's gone wrong

And everything blows up in your face

It's a traffic jam whenyou're 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 meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife

Andisn'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 whenyou've already paid

It's the good advice that you justdidn't take

And whowould've thought? It figures

And yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out

Helping you out
