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 when you've already paid
It's the good advice (1)________ you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed (2)________ he thought
'Well isn't this nice...'
And isn't it ironic...don't you think

It's like rain on (3)________ wedding day
It's a free (4)________ 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 (5)__________ way of helping you out when
You think everything's (6)________ 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 (7)________ 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 (8)________ on your wedding day

It's the (9)________ advice that you just didn't take
Who would've (10)______________ ... 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
