Tim Minchin - Naughty lyrics

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
