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