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 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 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 everything blows up
In your face 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 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 Helping you out
