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 have thought
it figures?
Mr. Plate 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 have thought it figures?
Well life is a funny way of seeing up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's
going right And yeah,
well life is 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
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
Meeting his beautiful husband 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 have thought
it figures?
