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. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He (2)____________ his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane (3)______________ 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 (4)__________ way of sneaking up on you
(5)________ you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything (6)__________ up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on (7)________ cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting 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 (8)________ rain on (9)________ wedding day
It's a free (10)________ 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
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out.
