Lyrics Odds Are - 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 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
