An old man __________ ninety–eight
He __________ the lottery and __________ the next day
It’s a black fly in your chardonnay
It’s a death raw pardon two minutes too late
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 __________
Who would’ve thought ... it’s figures

CHORUS

Mr. Play It Safe __________ afraid to fly
He __________ his suitcase and __________ his kids good-bye
He __________ his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane __________ down he thought

“Well isn’t this nice...”
And isn’t it ironic ... don’t you think
CHORUS
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 everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam
A no-smoking sign
It’s like a ten thousand spoons
It’s meeting
And then meeting
And isn’t it ironic ...
A little too ironic ...

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

the man of my dreams
and yeah I really do think
on your cigarette break
his beautiful wife
when all you need is a knife
when you’re already late
don’t you think
