An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery an died next the 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

Refrão

It's like rain in your wedding day

It's a free ride when you're 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 crash down he thought

"Well isn't this nice... "

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

Repete refrão

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

Repete refrão

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out,

Helping you out.
