[Verse 1] Started my day thinkin’, “Today’s my day.” Manifested greatness… The universe said, “We’ll see.” Won “Employee of the Month.” Finally got my plaque… Spelled… Somebody else’s name. Bought a scratch-off ticket. Seven… Seven… Seven… Wrong row. Stopped to help a little old lady Reach the top shelf… She looked at me and said, “Honey… I work here.” Borrowed confidence From a motivational podcast… Then waved At somebody… Who wasn’t waving at me. I pretended I was stretching. [Pre-Chorus] At this point, I’m just curious What happens next… [Chorus] Irony! Life’s a stand-up comic Working overtime. Every “I’ve got this!” Becomes, “Never mind.” Irony! If timing had a favorite person… It definitely isn’t me. But at least Everybody else Gets a good laugh… For free. [Verse 2] I tried to save face With a cool little nod, But my wallet hit the floor In slow motion, God. Ordered one black coffee, Got decaf with foam, Then found my keys In the fridge at home. Called it a win When my shoelace held, Then stepped in a puddle And slipped like hell. I read the sign And took the wrong door, Walked in like I owned it, Got escorted more. [Pre-Chorus] At this point, I’m just curious What happens next… [Chorus] Irony! Life’s a stand-up comic Working overtime. Every “I’ve got this!” Becomes, “Never mind.” Irony! If timing had a favorite person… It definitely isn’t me. But at least Everybody else Gets a good laugh… For free. [Bridge] So go ahead, point and grin, I’m the punchline again. If the world wants a fool, I’ll clock in. Maybe someday I’ll catch a break… Until then, I’ll wave At the wrong parade. [Chorus] Irony! Life’s a stand-up comic Working overtime. Every “I’ve got this!” Becomes, “Never mind.” Irony! If timing had a favorite person… It definitely isn’t me. But at least Everybody else Gets a good laugh… For free.
