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

Mr. (2)________ It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take (3)________ flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic,l 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 that you just didn't take
Who would've thought, it figures

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
(4)________ you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And (5)________ has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's (6)________ wrong and everything (7)__________ up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's (8)______________ 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 free ride when you've already paid
It's the (9)________ advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought, it figures

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out.
