Alanis Morrisette - 1995
Hey yay yay, |
yah ha ha, |
ay yeah hi |
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 |
|
Mr. 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 |
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 |
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 ... |
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 |
