Matilda the Musical

Naughty Lyrics

MATILDA

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 as 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 okay And that's not right

Cinderella, in the cellar Didn't have to do much as far as I can 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

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 okay 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 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 okay 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 gonna change my story Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty!
