Lyrics Barenaked Ladies – Odds Are

Struck by lightning
Sounds pretty frightening
But you know the chances are so small
Stuck by a bee sting, nothing but a bee thing

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 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
