Hey-yeah-yeah

yeah, uh-huh

huh-yeah-hey

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

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've thought

it figures

Mister 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 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

Well, life has a funny way

of sneakin' up on you

when you think

everything's okay

and everything's goin' right

And life has a funny way

of helpin' 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, hmm

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've thought

it figures...

And yeah

life has a funny way

of sneakin' up on you

Oh, life has

a funny, funny way

of helpin' you out

helpin' you out
