Lyrics Naughty - Tim Minchin

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
So 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 the 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're told but surely
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
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
And that's not right
Cinderella in the cellar
Didn′t have to do much, as far as I can tell
Her godmother was 2/3 fairy
Suddenly her lot was a lot less scary
But what if you haven't got a fairy to fix it?
Sometimes you have to make a little bit of mischief
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
And that's not right
And if it′s not right
You have to put it right
In the slip of a bolt there's a tiny revolt
The seed of a war in the creak of a floorboard
The 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 start 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 right
But nobody else is gonna put it right for me
Nobody but me is gonna change my story
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
