Intro

Verse1

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

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

Verse2

 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?

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

Bridge

 Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

 When you think everything's ok and everythings going right

And yeah well life has a funny way of helping you out when

Verse3

 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 then meeting his beautiful wife

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

 A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do 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
