Naughty Lyrics - Matilda The Musical London Cast Recording - Matilda London Cast

(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 

T'was 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 

And that's not right! 

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. 

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 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 okay 

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.
