Lyrics

0:12An old man turned 98
0:17He won the lottery and died the next day
0:23It's a black fly in your chardonnay
0:30It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
0:35And isn't it ironic?
0:38Don't you think?
0:41It's like rain on your wedding day
0:47It's a free ride when you've already paid
0:53It's the good advice that you just didn't take
0:59And who would've thought?
1:02It figures
1:06Mister play-it-safe was afraid to fly
1:11He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
1:17He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
1:23And as the plane crashed down he thought
1:27"Well isn't this nice?"
1:29And isn't it ironic?
1:32Don't you think?
1:35It's like rain on your wedding day
1:41It's a free ride when you've already paid
1:47It's the good advice that you just didn't take
1:53And who would've thought?
1:56It figures
2:00Well life has a funny way of sneakin' up on you
2:03When you think everything's okay
2:06And everything's goin' alright
2:11Yeah well life has a funny way
2:14Of helpin' you out when you think everything's gone wrong
2:18And everything blows up in your face
2:24A traffic jam
2:26When you're already late
2:29No smoking sign on your cigarette break
2:35It's like ten thousand spoons
2:38When all you need is a knife
2:42It's meeting the man of my dreams
2:44And meeting his beautiful husband
2:49And isn't it ironic?
2:51Don't you think?
2:54A little too ironic and yeah I really do think
3:00It's like rain on your wedding day
3:06It's a free ride when you've already paid
3:12It's the good advice that you just didn't take
3:19And who would've thought?
3:21It figures
An old man turned 98
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
Mister 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 sneakin' up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everything's goin' alright
Yeah well life has a funny way
Of helpin' you out when you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face
A traffic jam
When you're already late
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 meeting his beautiful husband
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
