Odds Are lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

Struck by lightning

Sounds pretty frightening

But you know the chances are so small

Stuck by a bee sting, nothing but a bee thing

Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall

But it's 23 or 4 to 1 that you could fall in love by the end of this song

So, get up, get up

Tell the bookie "put a bet up"

Not a damn thing will go wrong

The odds are that we will probably be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright, odds are we're gonna be alright tonight

The odds are that we will probably be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright for another night

Hit by the A-Train, crashed in an airplane

I wouldn't recommend either one

Killed by a Great White or a meteorite

I guess there ain't no way to go that's fun

But somewhere in the world someone is gonna fall in love by the end of this song

So, get up, get up

No it's never gonna let up

So you might as well sing along

The odds are that we will probably be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright, odds are we're gonna be alright tonight

The odds are that we will probably be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright for another night

Sure, things go wrong, but I'll take my chances

Odds are long, so why not play?

Struck by lightning, sounds pretty frightening

But you know the chances are so small

Hit by the A-Train, crashed in an airplane

Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall

But it's 23 or 4 to 1 that you could fall in love by the end of this song

So, get up, get up

No I'm never gonna let up

So, you might as well sing along

The odds are that we will probably be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright, odds are we're gonna be alright tonight

The odds are that we will probably be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright, odds are we're gonna be alright tonight

The odds are that we will probably be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright, odds are we're gonna be alright tonight

The odds are that we will probably be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright

Odds are we're gonna be alright for another night
