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're already paid
It's the good advice
That you'd despise didn't take
And who would have thought it began
Must you 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're already paid
It's a good advice
Just give and take
And who would have thought it began
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everything's going right
And 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
And then meeting his view
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think
A little too ironic
It's like rain
On your wedding day
It's a free ride
When you hold anything
It's a good advice
That you just didn't take
And who would have thought it figures
And yeah life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Oh life has a funny funny way
Of helping you out
Helping you out
