Ironic by Alanis Morissette

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 (1)________ 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 good-bye
He waited his whole (2)________ 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 (3)________ on your wedding day
It's a (4)________ ride when you've (5)______________ 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 (6)________________ up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And (7)________ 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 (8)________ 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
