Lyrics

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
 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've thought? It figures
 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?"
 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've thought? It figures
 Well, life has a funny way
 Of sneaking up on you when you think everything's okay
 And everything's going right
 And life has a funny way
 Of 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 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?
 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've thought? It figures
 And, yeah, life has a funny way
 Of sneaking up on you
 And life has a funny, funny way
 Of helping you out
 Helping you out
 
 An old man turned 98
