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? 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 have thought it's vigorous? Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase, kissed his kids goodbye 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? 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 have thought it's vigorous? Life is a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life is a funny way of coming at you When you think everything's going wrong And everything blows up in your face Like a traffic jam when you're already late And 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 his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's a little too ironic And 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 the good advice that you just didn't take And who would have thought it's vigorous? Life is a funny way of sneaking up on you Life is a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out Thanks for watching!
