Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

Its a black fly in your Chardonnay

Its a death row pardon two minutes too late

Isnt it ironicdont you think

Its like rain on your wedding day

Its a free ride when youve already paid

Its the good advice that you just didnt take

Who wouldve thoughtit figures

MrPlay it safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goos-bye

He waited his whole demn life to take that flight

And as the plane crashed down he thought

"Well isnt this nice"

And isnt it ironicdont you think

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you think everythings okay and everythings going right

And life has a funny way of helping you out when

You think everythings gone wrong and everything blows up

In your face

A traffic jam when youre already late

A no-smoking sigh on your cigarette break

Its like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

Its meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isnt it ironicdont you think

A little too ironicand yeah I really do think

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funnyfunny way of helping you out

Helping you out
