Lyrics beta

Silence

Yeah-da-dye

Intro

Yeah-da-dye-aye-ow
An old man turned ninety-eight

Verse

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?
It's like rain on your wedding day

Chorus

It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

Verse

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?

Chorus

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
And 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
Yeah, well, life has a funny way
Of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face

Verse

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 meeting his beautiful husband
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah, I really do think

Chorus

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
And who would've thought? It figures
Yeah-da-dye
Yeah-da-dye-aye, ooh-oh-ow

Outro

Yeah-da-dye
Yeah-da-dye-aye, ah-aye-aye
