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 good-bye |
|
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 |
|
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, hm... |
|
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 |
|
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you |
|
Life has a funny, funny way, helping you out |
|
Helping you out |
