Ironic by Alanis Morisette

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 (1)________ rain on your wedding day
It's a (2)________ ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you (3)________ didn't take
Who would've thought, it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his (4)________________ and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn (5)________ to take that flight
And as the plane crashed (6)________ he thought
"Well, isn't (7)________ nice."
And isn't it ironic,l don't you think

It's like (8)________ on your (9)______________ day
It's a (10)________ ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought, it figures

Well, (11)________ has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you (12)__________ everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You (13)__________ everything's (14)________ wrong and everything blows up
In (15)________ face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on (16)________ (17)__________________ break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you (18)________ is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his (19)__________________ wife
And isn't it ironic, don't you think
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

It's (20)________ rain on your (21)______________ day
It's a free ride (22)________ you've (23)______________ paid
It's the (24)________ advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought, it figures

Well, life has a funny way of (25)________________ up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out.
