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
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 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
And 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 everything
blows up in your face
It's a traffic jam
when you'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
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
And who would'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
