Starac je napunio devedeset osmu
Dobio na lotou I sutradan umro
To je kao muva u tvom skupom vinu
To je kao zakasnelo ukidanje smrtne presude
Ironično, zar ne

Kao kiša na dan tvog venčanja
Kao besplatna vožnja koju si već platio
Kao dobar savet koji nisi poslušao
Ko bi pomislio da se to računa

Gospodin Ziher plašio se letenja
Spakovao se I poljubio decu za rastanak
Ceo prokleti život čekao je taj let
I dok je avion padao, pomislio je:
“Kako je lepo…”
Ironično, zar ne

Kao kiša na dan tvog venčanja
Kao besplatna vožnja koju si već platio
Kao dobar savet koji nisi poslušao
Ko bi pomislio da se to računa

Čudno je kako ti se život prišunja
Kad misliš da je sve u redu I da ti dobro ide
Čudno je I to kako ti život pomaže
Kad ti ne ide I kad ti se sve sruči
U lice

Kao gužva na putu kad kasniš
Znak zabrane pušenja na pauzi za cigaretu
Kao milion kašika kad ti treba nož
Kao kad upoznam čoveka mojih snova
A zatim I njegovu predivnu ženu
Ironično, zar ne…zar ne misliš
Malo suviše ironično, stvarno to mislim…

Kao kiša na dan tvog venčanja
Kao besplatna vožnja koju si već platio
Kao dobar savet koji nisi poslušao
Ko bi pomislio da se to računa

Čudno je kako ti se život prišunja
Čudno je, čudno kako ti život pomaže
Kako ti pomaže

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…dont’cha 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

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase 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…dont’cha 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
When 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 blows up
In your face

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
And isn’t it ironic…dont’cha think
A little too ironic…and 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 good advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought…it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
