| Intro: |
| 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 |
| Isn't it ironic... don't you think |
| Chorus: |
| 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 this ironic ... don't you think? |
| Repeat Chorus |
| Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you |
| When you think everything's ok |
| and everythings going right |
| And yeah well life has a funny way |
| of helping you out when |
| You think evertyhing's gone wrong and |
| everthing blows up in your face |
| A traffic jam when you're already late |
| A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break |
| It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife |
| It's meeting the man of my dreams |
| then meeting his beautiful wife |
| And isn't it ironic... don't you think |
| A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think... |
| Repeat Chorus |
