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
