Ironic by Alanis Morrisete

(Hey yeah yeah...)

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a (1)__________ fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic
Don't you think?
It's (2)________ rain on your weddin' day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the (3)________ advice that you (4)________ didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He (5)____________ his suitcase and (6)____________ his (7)________ goodbye
He waited his whole damn (8)________ to take that flight
And as the (9)__________ crashed down he thought
Well, isn't this nice...
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think?
It's like rain on (10)________ weddin' day
It's a free ride when you've (11)______________ paid
It's the good (12)____________ that you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures
Well life has a funny way
Of sneakin' up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everything's goin' right, right...
And life has a funny way
Nobody helpin' you out
When you (13)__________ everything's gone wrong
And everything (14)__________ up in your face
A traffic jam (15)________ you're already late
A no (16)______________ 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 meetin' his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And yeah, I (17)____________ do think
It's (18)________ (19)________ on your weddin' day
It's a (20)________ ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice (21)________ you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures...
And your life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, (22)__________ way
Of helping you out
Helping you out
