  S1:
  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 

  And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?

  R1:
  It's like rai-ain 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 

  And who would've thought... It figures

  S2:
  Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly 

  He packed his suit-case and kissed his kids goodbye 

  He waited his whole damn life to take that flight 

  And as the plane crashed down he thought 

  "Well isn't this nice..." 

  And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?

  Well life has a funny way  

  Of sneaking up on you when you think everything's okay  

  And everything's going ri-ight 

  And life has a funny way  

  Of helping you out when you think everything's gone wrong  

  And everything blows up in your face

  S3:
  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 then meeting his beautiful wife -xx- 

  And isn't it ironic... Don't you think? 

  A little too ironic... And, yeah, I really do think
