Naughty (From "Matilda") - The London Theatre Orchestra & Cast

Lyrics by：Tim Minchin

Composed by：RR

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 thin

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 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 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

'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 it gonna put it right for me

Nobody but me is going to change my story

Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty
