Matilda Medley

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.

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,
cnd that's not right!

cnd so you think you're cble to survive this mess by
Being a prince or a princess; you will soon (C)see there's no escaping trageDy.
cnd Even if you put in heaps of eFfort, you're just wasting enerGy
'Cos your life as you know it is “aitcH”cient history.

I have suffered in this Jail. Have been trapped inside this
(K)Cage for ages, this living 'eLl. But if I try, I can remeMber,
Back before my life had eNded, before my happy days were
Over, before I first heard the Pealing of the bell.

Like you I was (Q)curious, so innocent I (R)asked a thousand questions
But unleSs you want to suffer, listen up and I will Teach you a thing or two.
YoU, listen here, my dear, you'll be punished so seVerely if you step out of line, and if you cry it will be
(W)Double, you should stay out of trouble and remember to be eXtremely careful.

(WhY?) Why?
Spoken: Why? Why? Did you hear what we said?
Just you wait for PhyZed!

When I grow up,
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
That I need to reach to climb the trees
You get to climb when you're grown up.
cnd when I grow up,
I will be smart enough to answer all the
Questions that you need to know the
cnswers to before you're grown up.

cnd when I grow up, I will eat sweets every day
On the way to work and I will go to bed late every night.
cnd I will wake up when the sun comes up and I
Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square,
cnd I won't care 'cos I'll be all grown up,
When I grow up.

When I grow up, (when I grow up,)
When I grow up,
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
That you have to fight beneath the bed
Each night to be a grown up.
cnd when I grow up, (when I grow up,)
I will have treats every day,
cnd I'll play with things that mum pretends that
Mums don't think are fun.
cnd I will wake up, (and I will wake up)
When the sun comes up and I
Will spend all day just lying in the sun,
cnd I won't burn 'cos I'll be all grown up.
When I grow up.

For this is my house.
This is my house,
It isn't much but it is enough for me.
This is my house, this is my house.
It isn't much but it is enough for me.

Whoa!
Never again will she get the best of me.
Never again will she take away my freedom.
cnd we won't forget the day we
Fought for the right to be a little bit naughty!
Never again will the chokey door slam.
Never again will I be bullied and
Never again will I doubt it when
My mummy says I'm a miracle!
Never again will we live behind bars,
Never again, now that we know

We are revolting children living in revolting times.
We sing revolting songs using revolting rhymes.
We'll be revolting children till our revolting's done
cnd we'll have the Trunchbull bolting, we're revolting!

We are revolting children living in revolting times.
We sing revolting songs using revolting rhymes.
We'll be revolting children till our revolting's done.
It is 2 L8 4 U, WE cRE REVOLTING!
