[Intro — ticking percussion, mischievous violin] [Female — teasing] Jack and Jill went up the hill… [Male — low baritone] To fetch a pail of water. [Female] That’s what we told them. [Both — laughing] Ha! [Verse 1 — Female] Jack had a plan And a crooked little grin Said he knew a place Where the trouble begins I said, “That’s a bad idea” He said, “Probably true” Then he held out his hand And I said, “After you” [Pre-Chorus — alternating voices] [Male] One little step [Female] One little thrill [Both] Nobody warned us About that hill [Chorus — catchy, melodic duet] Jack and Jill went up the hill Looking for a little thrill Jack fell down And broke his crown Jill came laughing, tumbling down Round and round We go again Trouble’s always been our friend Jack and Jill Still climbing still Never learned to leave that hill [Verse 2 — Male] Jill had a smile Like a loaded little gun Said, “If we’re going down We might as well have fun” She took my coat And she stole my pride Then she kissed my cheek And said, “Enjoy the ride” [Pre-Chorus — alternating voices] [Female] One little lie [Male] One little spill [Both] Funny how we’re Still on that hill [Chorus — full band] Jack and Jill went up the hill Looking for a little thrill Jack fell down And broke his crown Jill came laughing, tumbling down Round and round We go again Trouble’s always been our friend Jack and Jill Still climbing still Never learned to leave that hill [Bridge — stripped bass, playful spoken duet] [Male] You pushed me. [Female] You slipped. [Male] You laughed. [Female] You tripped. [Both] And somehow here we are again… [Final Chorus — explosive harmonies] Jack and Jill went up the hill Looking for a little thrill Jack fell down And broke his crown Jill came laughing, tumbling down Round and round We go again Trouble’s always been our friend Jack and Jill Still climbing still Never learned to leave that hill [Outro — violin flourish] [Female] Same time tomorrow? [Male] I’ll bring the bucket. [Both] Ha!
