Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water, so they they say
The subsequent fall was inevitable
They never stood a chance-
They were written that way.
Innocent victims of their story.

Like Romeo and Juliet,
'Twas written in the stars before they even met
That love and fate and a touch of stupidity
Would rob them of their hope of living happily,

The endings are often a little bit gory.
I wonder why they didn't just change their story?
We're told we have to do what we are told but surely.
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughy.

Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it,
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Nothing will change

Even if you're little, you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like little stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Might as well be saying
You think that it's ok.
An' that's not right
And if it's not right,
You have to put it riiigght.

'Platinum Blonde hair dye - extra strong. Keep out of reach of children'. Hmmm... 'Oil of violets hair tonic. For men' yep.

In the slip of a volt,
There's a tiny revolt,
The seed of a war
In the creak floarboard.
A storm can begin
with the flap of a wing,
The tiniest mite
Packs the mightiest sting

Every day
Starts with the tick of a clock
All escapes
Starts with the click of a lock
If you're stuck in your story
And want to get out
you don't have to cry
You don't have to shout!

Cos if you're little, you can do a lot, you
Mustn't let a little thing like little stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
Won't change a thing.

Just because you find that life's not fair!! it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it,
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
You might as well be saying, you think that it's ok,
And that's not right!
And if it's not right
You have to put it riiiiggght!

And nobody else is going to put it right for me!
Nobody but me is going to change my story!
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty!

A/N: just wanted to say I have seen the Broadway show and it is pretty great if you get a chance you should see it, but it's also on CD which I also have so that's cool, just one of the many great songs from the musical! ;D
