Ironic (Acoustic Version)

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'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' alright

Yeah, well, 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

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 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've thought? It figures
