oh man turned 98 he won the lottery   and died the next day   it's a black flag   and your chardonnay   death row pardon 2 minutes too late   (chrous)   isn't it ironic, don't you think?   it's like rain on your wedding day   it's a free ride and you already paid   good advice that you just didn't take   and who would have thought   it figure      he played it safe was afraid to fly   he packed his suitcase 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      well life has a funny way   of helping you out when you think every things okay   everythings goin right      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 like meeting the man of my dreams   then meetinghis beautiful wife      (chorus)      isn't it ironic?   don't you think?
