NAME: ______________________________________
Directions: Write a line or two explaining why each set of lyrics is SITUATIONAL IRONY. Make sure to explain clearly even if it seems obvious! The first one is done for you as an example.
"Ironic"
1. An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
This is ironic because he cannot spend the money he waited and hoped he would win for his whole life!

2. It's a black fly in your Chardonnay (white wine)
_________________________________________________________________

3. It's a death row pardon (when a governor or judge stops an execution) two minutes too late
_________________________________________________________________

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

4. It's like rain on your wedding day
_________________________________________________________________

5. It's a free ride when you've already paid
_________________________________________________________________

6. It's the good advice that you just didn't take
_________________________________________________________________

Who would've thought... it figures

7. 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... 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 (refrain)

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

8. You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

9. A traffic jam when you're already late
_________________________________________________________________

10. A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
_________________________________________________________________

11. It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
_________________________________________________________________

12. 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 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
