Alanis Morrisette - 1995
| Hey yay yay, |
| yah ha ha, |
| ay yeah hi |
| 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 |
| And isn't it ironic ... don't you think |
|
| Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly |
| He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye |
| 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 |
| 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 ... hmm |
| And isn't it ironic ... don't you think |
| A little too ironic ... and yeah, I really do think ... |
| And yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you |
| And life has a funny, funny way --- |
| Of helping you out, helping you out |
