My  dog's stomach was  very upset,
So  I put him in the car and  we went to the vet.
And  on our way to the  vet,
 I killed a cat.
 I said isn't that ironic?
I  adopted a child from over  seas,
to  rescue him from child labor factories,
 And  on his very first birthday  we went to Build-A-Bear Workshop.
isn't that ironic D

I said isn't that I-R-O-N-I-C-I-N-O-R-I-R-O-N-I-C?
A  water-park is burnt  to the ground,
And  a toe-truck has broken  down.
I  always use to cry  when I laughed,
and  then I was malested by a clown.
 Isn't that ironic?
 (Get the idea?)( The only change is the key change were all chords go two semitones up )
 I was watching Al Gore on CNN,
 He was talking, and talking, and talking,
 and then,
 Out of boredom, my pet polar bear shot himself.
 I dated an animal rights activist,
 and one day she got really pissed,
 Because I was eating veal,
 That was wrapped in pita (PETA) bread.
Isn't that I-R-O-N-I-C-I-N-O-R-I-R-O-N-I-C?
 I'm a stand up comic and I always sit and slouch,
 And I got my girlfriend pregnant on my sterile uncle's pull-out couch.
 If everyday you play the board-game Risk,
 You probably never taken a risk in your life.
 And Monopoly has far from the stranglehold on the board game market.
 A little kid died from suffocation, when he choked a game piece from Operation.
 And I can't grow a beard.
 That one's not ironic, that one's just sad.
 Bob Barker got all of my pets pregnant.
 My grandfather had Alzheimer's and one day we were...
