Little boys sit still	A
Girls too if you will	A
And let me tell you of Jack and Jill	A
For I think another	B
Such sister and brother	B
Were never the children of one mother	B
	-
For an idle lad	C
As he was Jack had	C
No traits after all that were very bad	C
He was simply Jack	D
With the coat on his back	D
Patched up in all colors from gray to black	D
	-
Both feet were bare	E
And I do declare	E
That he never washed his face and his hair	E
Was the color of straw	F
You never saw	F
Such a crop as long as the moral law	F
	-
When he went to school	G
It was the rule	G
Though 'twas hard to say he was really a fool	G
To send him at once	H
So thick was his sconce	I
To the block that was kept for the greatest dunce	I
	-
And Jill no lass	I
Scarce ever has	I
Made bigger tracks on the country grass	I
For her only fun	J
Was to romp and run	J
Bare headed bare footed in wind and sun	J
	-
Wherever went Jack	D
Close on his track	D
With hair unbraided and down her back	D
Loud voiced and shrill	A
She followed until	A
No one said Jack without saying Jill	A
	-
But to succeed	K
In teaching to read	L
Such a harum scarum was work indeed	K
And I'm forced to tell	M
That her way to spell	M
Her name was with only a single 'l '	-
	-
Yet they were content	N
One day they were sent	N
To the hill for water and they went	N
They did not drown	O
But Jack fell down	O
With a pail in his hand and broke his crown	O
	-
And Jill who must go	P
And always do	Q
Exactly as Jack did tumbled too	Q
Just think if you will	A
How they rolled down hill	A
Straw headed Jack and bare footed Jill	A
	-
But up Jack got	R
And home did trot	R
Nor cared whether Jill was hurt or not	R
While his poor bruised knob	S
Did burn and throb	S
Tear falling on tear sob following sob	S
	-
He could run the faster	B
So a paper plaster	B
Had bound up the sight of his disaster	B
Before Jill came	T
And the thoughtful dame	T
For a break in her head had fixed the same	T
	-
But Jill came in	U
With a saucy grin	U
At seeing the plight poor Jack was in	U
And when she saw	I
That bundle of straw	I
His hair bound up with a cloth and his jaw	I
	-
Tied up in white	V
The comical sight	V
Made her clap her hands and laugh outright	V
The dame perplexed	W
And dreadfully vexed	W
Got a stick and said I'll whip her next	W
	-
How many blows fell	M
I will not tell	M
But she did it in earnest she did it well	M
Till the naughty back	D
Was blue and black	D
And Jill needed a plaster as much as Jack	D
	-
The next time though	P
Jack has to go	P
To the hill for water I almost know	P
That bothering Jill	A
Will go up the hill	A
And if he falls again why of course she will	A
