Little boys sit stillA
Girls too if you willA
And let me tell you of Jack and JillA
For I think anotherB
Such sister and brotherB
Were never the children of one motherB
-
For an idle ladC
As he was Jack hadC
No traits after all that were very badC
He was simply JackD
With the coat on his backD
Patched up in all colors from gray to blackD
-
Both feet were bareE
And I do declareE
That he never washed his face and his hairE
Was the color of strawF
You never sawF
Such a crop as long as the moral lawF
-
When he went to schoolG
It was the ruleG
Though 'twas hard to say he was really a foolG
To send him at onceH
So thick was his sconceI
To the block that was kept for the greatest dunceI
-
And Jill no lassI
Scarce ever hasI
Made bigger tracks on the country grassI
For her only funJ
Was to romp and runJ
Bare headed bare footed in wind and sunJ
-
Wherever went JackD
Close on his trackD
With hair unbraided and down her backD
Loud voiced and shrillA
She followed untilA
No one said Jack without saying JillA
-
But to succeedK
In teaching to readL
Such a harum scarum was work indeedK
And I'm forced to tellM
That her way to spellM
Her name was with only a single 'l '-
-
Yet they were contentN
One day they were sentN
To the hill for water and they wentN
They did not drownO
But Jack fell downO
With a pail in his hand and broke his crownO
-
And Jill who must goP
And always doQ
Exactly as Jack did tumbled tooQ
Just think if you willA
How they rolled down hillA
Straw headed Jack and bare footed JillA
-
But up Jack gotR
And home did trotR
Nor cared whether Jill was hurt or notR
While his poor bruised knobS
Did burn and throbS
Tear falling on tear sob following sobS
-
He could run the fasterB
So a paper plasterB
Had bound up the sight of his disasterB
Before Jill cameT
And the thoughtful dameT
For a break in her head had fixed the sameT
-
But Jill came inU
With a saucy grinU
At seeing the plight poor Jack was inU
And when she sawI
That bundle of strawI
His hair bound up with a cloth and his jawI
-
Tied up in whiteV
The comical sightV
Made her clap her hands and laugh outrightV
The dame perplexedW
And dreadfully vexedW
Got a stick and said I'll whip her nextW
-
How many blows fellM
I will not tellM
But she did it in earnest she did it wellM
Till the naughty backD
Was blue and blackD
And Jill needed a plaster as much as JackD
-
The next time thoughP
Jack has to goP
To the hill for water I almost knowP
That bothering JillA
Will go up the hillA
And if he falls again why of course she willA
