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?
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 it ironic, don't you think?
REPEAT CHORUS
Well life's a funny way o'sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's goin' right
And life's a funny way o'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 thousands 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, yeah I really do think
REPEAT CHORUS
Life's a funny way o'sneaking up on you
And life's a funny, funny way o'helping you out
Helping you out
