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?

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 goodbye
He waited his whole d___ 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?

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

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

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...

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

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Un anciano c__plió 98
Ganó la lotería y murió el día siguiente
Es una mosca negra en tu Chardonnay
Es un perdón de la pena de muerte dos minutos demasiado tarde
¿Es irónico... No lo crees?

Coro:
Es como la lluvia, en el día de tu boda
Es un aventón gratis, cuando ya has pagado
Es el buen consejo que tu simplemente no tomaste
Quien lo hubiera pensado... Calcula.

El señor "Cuidadoso" tenía miedo a volar
Hizo su maleta y besó a sus hijos de despedida
El esperó toda su maldita vida para tomar ese vuelo
Y cuando el avión de estrelló él pensó
"Bueno, no es esto agradable..."
Y ¿Es irónico... no lo crees?

Coro

Bueno, la vida tiene una manera curiosa de engañarte
Cuando piensas que todo está bien y que todo está Yendo bien
Y la viad tiene maneras curiosas de ayudarte cuando
Piensas que todo ha ido mal y todo
Te explota en la cara

Un atasco de tráfico cuando ya vas tarde
Un letrero de "No fumar" en tu descanso para fumar
Es como diez mil cucharas cuando todo lo que necesitas es un cuchillo
Es conocer a el hombre de mis sueños
Y conocer a su bellísima esposa
Y ¿Es irónico... no lo crees?
Un poco demasiado irónico... Y sí yo realmente lo pienso

Coro

La vida tiene una manera curiosa de engañarte
La vida tiene una curiosa, curiosa manera de ayudarte
Ayudarte
