Ironic (acoustic Album Version) Lyrics

Hey yiah yiah

Yiah yea yea

Hey yiah



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?



It's like rain on your weddin' 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 weddin' 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 sneakin' up on you

When you think everything's okay and everything's goin' right, right

And life has a funny way nobody helpin' you out when

You think everyhing'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 meetin' the man of my dreams

And then meetin' his beautiful wife, umm

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 weddin' 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 well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

And life has a funny, funny way of helpin' you out

Helpin' you out
