    Naughty Matilda Lyrics

    The poem encourages standing up for yourself even if you're small. It references characters like Jack and Jill, Romeo and Juliet, and Cinderella who had unhappy endings imposed by their stories. The poem suggests that if life isn't fair, you shouldn't just accept it and instead should be willing to cause a little bit of "mischief" and change your own story instead of letting others dictate it.

    Naughty- 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 (3 finger snaps)
    I wonder why they didn't just change their story? (4 finger snaps)
    We're told we have to do what we're told but surely (7 finger snaps)
    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!

    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 ok
    And that's not right!
    And if it's not right!
    You have to put it right!

    (quiet, scheming) 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!
    (louder) 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
