Ironic Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Jagged Little Pill
Jagged Little Pill (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
2019
[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, spoken] Hold up, wait a second! That's actually not ironic [STUDENT, spoken] Right If we are using irony as defined in Greek tragedy, I don't see how, like, a fly in your beverage applies [DAVID, spoken] That's not irony That's just like shitty [FRANKIE, spoken] 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 damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought, "Well isn't this nice" And isn't it ironic [DAVID, spoken] It's not though [LILY, spoken] It would be irony if the guy in the crash was like an airplane mechanic [PHOENIX, spoken] 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, spoken] I'm not seeing anyone... [FRANKIE] And isn't it ironic Don't you think? [FRANKIE & PHOENIX] A little too ironic [PHOENIX] Yeah, I really do think [FRANKIE & 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 & PHOENIX] Helping you out
