He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And isn't it ironic
And yeah, I really do think
Well, isn't this nice
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
A traffic jam when you're already late
Isn't it ironic
It's like rain on your weddin' day
And as the plane crashed down he thought
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Don't you think?
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Don't you think?
It's like rain on your weddin' day
And who would've thought, it figures
And life has a funny, funny way of helpin' you out
A no smoking sign on your cigarette break
Hey yiah
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
You think everyhing's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
When you think everything's okay and everything's goin' right, right
Don't you think?
And who would've thought, it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
And isn't it ironic
And well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Well life has a funny way of sneakin' up on you
It's meetin' the man of my dreams
An old man turned ninety-eight
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
A little too ironic
And life has a funny way nobody helpin' you out when
And who would've thought, it figures
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's like rain on your weddin' day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
And then meetin' his beautiful wife, umm
