Intro

Verse1

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

Chorus

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

Verse2

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 this ironic ... don't you think?

Chorus

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

Bridge

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you think everything's ok and everythings going right

And yeah well life has a funny way of helping you out when

Verse3

A traffic jam when you're already late

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife

It's meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...

Chorus

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
