Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight 
He won the lottery and died the next dayIt'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 
Who would've thought... it figuresMr. 
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 it ironic ... don't you think
(repeat chorus)
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 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 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...
(repeat chorus)
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you 
And life has a funny way of helping you out 
Helping you out
