Lyrics

Hey! It must be opposite day!   Irony is using words but its opposite, K?   Its like you say it,but, you mean it in the opposite way   So im just saying what i mean but i dont mean what i say   Got it? Ok   Hey! it must be opposite day!   Irony is saying something in the opposite way.   Like saying "Really nice weather",when its raining outside   See,thats something negative,in a positive way   (Check it) Irony is opposite, opposite is irony   Its like a guy who hogs the ball saying "Aint no I in team"   Opposite is Irony,Irony is opposite     Like telling someone insecure, "You're so full of confidence"   "Whoa! ,Now we're learning about Irony"   Blah,blah,blah...now we're learning about irony   "Man why are you mocking me? Tell me why you are trying me."   Nah man,Thats mockery. Another form of Irony   Irony is sarcasm,Irony is Mockery,   Satire, Parody, Just trying to give you clarity   Bare with me,You can do it! man irony is basic   If irony is on your test then you know you are going to ace it!   What did we learn?   Hey! It must be opposite day!   Irony is using words but its opposite, K?   Its like you say it,but, you mean it in the opposite way   So im just saying what i mean but i dont mean what i say   Got it? Ok
