jagged little pill: the musical - ironic lyrics
[frankie]
an old man turned 98
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?
[david]
hold up, wait a second!
that’s actually not ironic
[student]
right
if we are using irony as defined in greek tragedy
i don’t see how, like, a fly in your beverage applies
[david]
that’s not irony
that’s just like sh+tty
[frankie]
can i please finish my piece?
[frankie]
mr. play+it+safe was afraid to fly
he packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good+bye
he waited his whole d+mn life to take that flight
and as the plane crashed down he thought: well isn’t this nice
and isn’t it ironic
[david]
it’s not though
[lily]
it would be irony if the guy in the crash was like an airplane mechanic
[phoenix]
how ’bout you guys let her finish?
[frankie]
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
and who would’ve thought—it figures!
well, life has a funny way
[phoenix]
of sneaking up on you when you think everything’s okay
and everything’s going right
[frankie]
and life has a funny way
[phoenix]
of helping you out when you think everything’s gone wrong
and everything blows up in your face
[frankie]
it’s a traffic jam when you’re already late
[teacher]
it’s a no+smoking sign on your cigarette break
[phoenix]
it’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
[frankie]
it’s like meeting the boy of my dreams
and then meeting his
[phoenix]
i’m not seeing anyone
[frankie]
and isn’t it ironic
don’t you think?
[frankie and phoenix]
a little too ironic
[phoenix]
yeah, i really do think
[frankie and phoenix]
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
and who would’ve thought, it figures!
[frankie]
well, life has a funny way
[phoenix]
of sneaking up on you
[frankie]
yeah, life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
[frankie and phoenix]
helping you out
