An old man turned 98
Won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your shardening (?)
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 a 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*** 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 a 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 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
It's 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 like 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
Ooh 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 a 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
And life has a funny, funny way
Of helping you out
Helping you out
