Ironic
Life's Irony Unveiled: A Musical Tale of Twists
Lyrics
Hey, I, I
Expression of attention or emphasis
Yeah, ah, ah
Expressing affirmation or agreement
Yeah, I
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
An old man turned ninety-eight
An elderly man reached the age of ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
He won the lottery but died the following day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
A black fly in a glass of Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
A death row pardon arrived two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Raising the question of irony in these situations
It's like rain on your wedding day
Rain occurring on a wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Getting a free ride after already paying
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Ignoring good advice given
And who would've thought? It figures
Reflecting on the unexpected nature of life
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
A cautious person afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
Packing and leaving family to take a flight
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
Waiting a lifetime to take a significant step
And as the plane crashed down, he thought
Ironically contemplating the situation as the plane crashes
"Well, isn't this nice"
Ironically finding something nice in a dire situation
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Reiteration of the ironic nature of life
It's like rain on your wedding day
Repeating the irony of rain on a wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Repeating the irony of a free ride after payment
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Repeating the irony of ignoring good advice
And who would've thought? It figures
Reiteration of the surprising nature of life
Well, life has a funny way
Life's unpredictable and humorous way of unfolding
Of sneaking up on you
Life's tendency to surprise when everything seems fine
When you think everything's okay
Expressing the contrast between perception and reality
And everything's going right
When everything appears to be going well
And life has a funny way
Life's unexpected assistance during challenging times
Of helping you out
Support coming unexpectedly
When you think everything's gone wrong
When everything seems to be going wrong
And everything blows up in your face
Everything falling apart unexpectedly
A traffic jam when you're already late
A traffic jam occurring when already running late
A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break
A "no smoking" sign during a cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
Having an excess of the wrong tools
It's meeting the man of my dreams
Meeting the man of one's dreams, only to find he's married
And then meeting his beautiful wife
Reiterating the irony of the situation
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Emphasizing the irony once again
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think
Highlighting the excessive irony in the situations
It's like rain on your wedding day
Repeating the irony of rain on a wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Repeating the irony of a free ride after payment
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Repeating the irony of ignoring good advice
And who would've thought? It figures
Reiteration of the surprising nature of life
And yeah, well, life has a funny way
Reflecting on life's unexpected events
Of sneaking up on you
Life's tendency to surprise when everything seems fine
And life has a funny, funny way
Repeating the humorous and surprising nature of life
Of helping you out
Emphasizing life's unexpected support
Helping you out
Reiteration of life's support in unexpected ways
