Lyrics

0:11An old man turned ninety-eight
0:17He won the lottery and died the next day
0:22It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
0:28It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
0:33And isn't it ironic don't you think
0:38It's like rain on your wedding day
0:44It's a free ride when you've already paid
0:50It's the good advice that you just didn't take
0:56And who would've thought it figures
1:02Mr.Play It Safe was afraid to fly
1:07He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
1:12He waited his whole d**n life to take that flight
1:18And as the plane crashed down he thought
1:22"Well isn't this nice"
1:24And isn't it ironic don't you think
1:29It's like rain on your wedding day
1:35It's a free ride when you've already paid
1:40It's the good advice that you just didn't take
1:47And who would've thought it figures
1:52Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
1:56When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
2:04And life has a funny way of helping you out when
2:07You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
2:11In your face
2:15A traffic jam when you're already late
2:20A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
2:26It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
2:32It's meeting the man of my dreams
2:34And then meeting his beautiful wife
2:38And isn't it ironic don't you think
2:44A little too ironic and yeah I really do think
2:49It's like rain on your wedding day
2:55It's a free ride when you've already paid
3:01It's the good advice that you just didn't take
3:07And who would've thought it figures
3:18Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
3:24Life has a funny funny way of helping you out
3:31Helping you out
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 d**n 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
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 of helping you out
Helping you out
