Ironic

Alanis Morissette

1. 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 
   
R: 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
   Who would´ve thought ... it figures 
   
2. 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 it ironic ... don´t you think 
R:   
   
   Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
   When you think everything´s okay and everything´s going right 
   And life has a funny way of helping you out when
   You think everything´s gone wrong and everything blows up
   In your face
   
3. 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
   And isn´t it ironic ... don´t you think
   A little too ironic ... and yeah I really do think ...
R: 
   
   Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
   Life has a funny, funny way --- of helping you out
   Helping you out
