From Matilda the Musical
Verse 1
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 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're
told, but surely
Sometimes you have to be
a little bit naughty.
Chorus
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.

Verse 2
Cinderella, in the cellar,
Didn't have to do much as far as
I could tell.
Her Godmother was two thirds
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.
Chorus
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.
Verse 3
In the slip of a bolt, there's a
tiny revolt.
The seeds of a war in the creak
of a floorboard.
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 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.
'Cause 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.
