You know, if they hadn't already invented the word "lyrics," "songtext"
would have been a decent choice. I like the way it sounds. : ) Anyway, I
searched Alta Vista for: "ironic AND old man AND turned AND lottery"
and found: http://user.cu-muc.de/tina/ironic.htm


which not only has words but chords as well.

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 just didn't take
And who would have thought...it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
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
And who would have 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 going 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...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
And who would have 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


HERRY

In Holland, we call it a songtext instead of lyric.

No, songtekst.

Sorry for my Ameri-centric interpretation. I do love Ironic. Alanis caught
some flack from the proper English crowd, because old men dying after they
win the lottery, etc., is more properly termed "unfortunate coincidence."
True irony requires an element of word play. Or so I'm told.
