Odds Are by Barenaked Ladies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
The odds are that we will probably be alright
Odds are we're gonna be alright
Odds are we're gonna be alright tonight
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

[Verse 2]
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 a 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
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
