Naughty

Naughty - Alisha Weir/The Cast of Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical

Lyrics by：Tim Minchin

Composed by：Tim Minchin

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water

So they say their 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

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 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
