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  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.
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 this ironic ...
don't you think? 

 Well life has a funny
way of sneaking up on you.
When you think everything's
ok and everythings going right.
And life has a funny way of
helping you out when.
You think evertyhing'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?
Well life has a funny way of
çsneaking up on you .
And life has a funny way of
helping you out ,
helping you out.
