Ironic

[Intro]
Na na na, ah, la la, na

[Verse 1]
An old man turned 98
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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!

[Verse 2]
Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and 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"

[Pre-Chorus]
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!

[Bridge]
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
How life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face

[Verse 3]
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 meeting his beautiful wife

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And yeah, I really do 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!

[Outro]
Na na na ah la la la
And yeah, life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face
