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
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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?"
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
It's 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
Un anciano cumplió noventa y ocho
Ganó la lotería y murió al día siguiente
Es una mosca negra en tu chardonnay
Es un perdón de la correra de la muerte dos minutos demasiado tarde
[Pre coro]
¿Y no es irónico?
¿No te parece?
[Coro]
Es como la lluvia el día de tu boda
Es un viaje gratis cuando ya has pagado
Es el buen consejo que simplemente no tomaste
¿Y quién hubiera pensado? Se figura
[Versículo 2]
El Sr. Play-It Safe tenía miedo de volar
Empacó su maleta y besó a sus hijos adiós
Esperó toda su maldita vida para tomar ese vuelo
Y cuando el avión se estrelló
Pensó: "Bueno, ¿no es esto agradable?"
[Pre coro]
¿Y no es irónico?
¿No te parece?
[Coro]
Es como la lluvia el día de tu boda
Es un viaje gratis cuando ya has pagado
Es el buen consejo que simplemente no tomaste
¿Y quién hubiera pensado? Se figura
[Puente]
Bueno, la vida tiene una forma divertida de escabullirse contigo
Cuando crees que todo está bien y todo va bien
Y la vida tiene una forma divertida de ayudarte
Cuando crees que todo salió mal
Y todo explota en tu cara
[Versículo 3]
Es un atasco de tráfico cuando ya llegas tarde
Un letrero de no fumar en las vacaciones de cigarrillo
Es como diez mil cucharas cuando todo lo que necesitas es un cuchillo
Es conocer al hombre de mis sueños
Y luego conocer a su hermosa esposa
[Pre coro]
¿Y no es irónico?
¿No te parece?
Un poco demasiado irónico
Y sí, realmente creo
[Coro]
Es como la lluvia el día de tu boda
Es un viaje gratis cuando ya has pagado
Es el buen consejo que simplemente no tomaste
¿Y quién hubiera pensado? Se figura
[Outro]
Y sí, la vida tiene una forma divertida de escabullirse en ti
Y la vida tiene una forma divertida y divertida de ayudarte
Ayudándote
