Odds Are - Barenaked Ladies

Struck by lightning, sounds pretty frightening

But you know the chances are so small

Stuck by a bee sting, nothing but a B-thing

Better chance you’re gonna buy it at the mall

But there’s a twenty-three four-to-one

That you can 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 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 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 there’s a twenty-three four-to-one

That you can 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 for another night
