Alanis Morissette: ironic













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




And isn't it ironic...dontcha 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 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...dontcha 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




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 upIn 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...dontcha 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




Who would've thought...it figures




Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you




Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out




Helping you out
