Alanis Morissette — Ironic [feat. James Corden]

Ironic [feat. James Corden]

[Alanis Morrissette:]
An old friend sends you a Facebook request
You only find out they’re racist after you accept
 
[James Corden:]
There’s free office cake on the first day of your diet
It’s like they announce a new iPhone the day after you buy it
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
 
[Alanis & James:]
It’s like swiping left on your future soulmate1
It’s a Snapchat that you wish you had saved2
It’s a funny Tweet that nobody faves
And who would’ve thought? It figures!
 
[Alanis:]
It’s a traffic jam when you tried to use Waze3
A “No Smoking” sign when you brought your vape
It’s 10,000 male late-night hosts when all you want is just one woman, seriously!
 
[James:]
It’s singing the duet of your dreams, and then Alanis Morissette shouting at you
 
[Alanis:]
I'm not shouting!
 
[James:]
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
 
[Alanis:]
A little too ironic, and yeah, I really do think
 
[Alanis & James:]
It’s like you’re first class on a Southwest plane
Then you realize that every seat is the same4
It’s like Amazon but your package never came
And who would’ve thought it figures?
It’s like Netflix but you own DVDs5
It’s a free ride but your Uber’s down the street6
It’s singing “Ironic,” but there are no ironies7
And who would’ve thought? It figures!
 
[Alanis:]
Life has a funny, funny way of sneaking up on you
 
[James:]
And life has a funny, funny way of sneaking up on you...(unintelligible singing)...and everything blows up in your face
 
[Alanis:]
Okay...of helping you out
 
[James:]
And life has a funny, funny, funny way of sneaking up on you and everything's ok and everything blows...(unintelligible singing)...
 
[Alanis:]
Okay...James...we're good James. We're...it's finished now, the song is finished...
 
[James:]
And life has a funny, funny, funny way of sneaking up on you and everything blows up in your face
 
[Alanis:]
Thank you everybody!
 
[James:]
Ladies and Gentlemen! Alanis Morrisette! Stick around, we'll be right back!
