Lyrics
[Intro]
Salutations, yes, indeed, indeed
Indeed, ah-ah-ah, indeed, salutations
[Verse 1]
A gentleman advanced in years reached the age of ninety-eight
He secured a victory in the lottery and perished the subsequent day
It's an onyx Diptera in your Chardonnay
It's a capital punishment reprieve two minutes subsequent to the optimal juncture
[Pre-Chorus]
And is it not imbued with irony?
Do you not concur?
[Chorus]
It's akin to precipitation on the occasion of your matrimonial ceremony
It's a gratuitous conveyance when you've heretofore remunerated
It's the sagacious counsel that you simply did not embrace
And who could have surmised? It is logical
[Verse 2]
Mr. Risk-Averse was apprehensive about aerial navigation
He meticulously prepared his luggage and bestowed a farewell osculation upon his progeny
He awaited his entire, expletive life to embark upon that journey
And as the aeroplane descended precipitously
He mused, "Well, isn't this delightful?"
[Pre-Chorus]
And is it not imbued with irony?
Do you not concur?
[Chorus]
It's akin to precipitation on the occasion of your matrimonial ceremony
It's a gratuitous conveyance when you've heretofore remunerated
It's the sagacious counsel that you simply did not embrace
And who could have surmised? It is logical
[Bridge]
Well, existence has an amusing manner of surreptitiously approaching you
When you surmise everything's satisfactory and everything's proceeding optimally
And existence has an amusing manner of assisting you
When you surmise everything's awry
And everything detonates in your countenance
[Verse 3]
A vehicular congestion when you're already tardy
A "No Smoking" placard during your nicotine respite
It's akin to ten thousand culinary implements designed for scooping when all you require is an implement designed for cutting
It's encountering the gentleman of my reveries
And subsequently encountering his aesthetically pleasing spouse
[Pre-Chorus]
And is it not imbued with irony?
Do you not concur?
A trifle excessively ironic
And yes, I genuinely do concur
[Chorus]
It's akin to precipitation on the occasion of your matrimonial ceremony
It's a gratuitous conveyance when you've heretofore remunerated
It's the sagacious counsel that you simply did not embrace
And who could have surmised? It is logical
[Outro]
And yes, existence has an amusing manner of surreptitiously approaching you
And existence has an amusing, amusing manner of assisting you
Assisting you
