Isn't it ironic don't you think a little too ironic and yeah I really do think
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
He won a lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
It's a free ride when you've already paid
A no smoking sign on your cigarette break
Who would've thought it figures
An old man turned ninety-eight
A traffic jam when you're already late
It's the good advice that you just didn't take

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
And as the plane crashed down he thought
It's like rain on your wedding day
And ya well life has a funny way of helping you out when
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
Well, isn't this nice? Isn't this ironic? Don't you think?
It's the good advice that you just didn't take

It's like rain on your wedding day
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Who would've thought it figures
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife
And who would've thought it figures
