Ironic

[Verse 1]

An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay

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

[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 then meeting his beautiful wife

[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
