IRONIC – ALANIS MORISSET

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

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

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

Who would´ve thought ... it figures

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...

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

Who would´ve thought ... it figures
