Alanis Morissette - Ironic

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

[Nakarat]
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

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

[Nakarat]
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
And isn't it ironic . . . don't you think
A little too ironic . . . and yeah I really do think . . .

[Nakarat]

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
