Ironic Lyrics By Alanis Morissette

    hey yeah yeah
    yeah ahahah yeah

    an old man turned ninetyeight
    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

    pre
    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

    mr playitsafe 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

    pre
    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 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

    it’s a traffic jam when you’re already late
    a nosmoking 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

    pre
    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 sneaking up on you
    and life has a funny funny way of helping you out
    helping you out
