SPOKEN:I believe in the Zodiac

Yeah, I do, I'm a Leo, I love Titanic

Uh, this is something a little bit mor-

Something a little bit morbidly ironic, my grandmother

Uh, she was a Cancer and

She was actually killed by a giant crab

This is a song about the idea of irony

SUNG:My dog's stomach was very upset

And I got my girlfriend pregnant on my sterile uncle's "pull-out" couch

Isn't that ironic? I-R-O-N-I-C

Yeah, if everyday you play the board game Risk

You've probably never taken a Risk in your life

And Monopoly has far from a stranglehold on the board game market

A little kid died from suffocation when he choked on 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
