It's a pop song called irony When everything in it is irony free It's getting hit when a Dodge truck doesn't break It's the Marlboro man and his cancerous fate And isn't it ironic...now it is

Don't it always Seem to Go To That you don't Know What you Got 'Til it's Gone They Paved Paradice and put up a Parking Lot

It's like Ray Charles on a blind date It's a dead-end sign next to a fresh grave It's the head lice on the Orkin man's toupee Who would've thought...it figures

Colonel Sanders was all alone At the dinner table in his country home He got all his cash from Kentucky Fried Ate a six piece meal choked on a chicken wing and died And isn't it ironic...now it is

Chorus

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's one way and switching things around 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 young man sold his watch to buy A set of combs for his beautiful wife But she sold her hair, so she could buy a watch chain They tried so hard But their gifts were in vain

Just Late last night, I Saw a Screen door slam and a Big orange taxi Took Trixie tang away

And isn't it ironic...now it is A little too ironic..and yes, now it actually is

Chorus

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny way of switching things around Switching things around.
