Ironic

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 to late
isn't it ironic... don't you think

Refrain:
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
Who would have 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 just 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?

Refrain

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
when you think everything is okay 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 are 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 like 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 you think...

Refrain

life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
life has a funny, funny way of helping you out -- helping 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?

Refren
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already payed
It's teh good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr.Play it safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waitedhis 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?

Refren

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 he's beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic...
Don't you think?
