Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water, Jack fell down, and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. Jack sat up with a silly grin, "That was quite a tumble!" Jill giggled as she brushed her knees, "Next time let's try not to stumble!" Up they climbed a second time, Singing "Tra-la-la" together, They hopped and skipped along the path, In bright and sunny weather. A butterfly flew round and round, With wings of blue and yellow, Jack clapped his hands and Jill twirled 'round, "Hello there, little fellow!" At last they reached the tippy-top, Where sparkly water flowed, They filled their bucket splash-splash-splash, Then down the path they strolled! They didn't trip, they didn't slip, They carried water steady, "Hooray!" they shouted with big smiles, "For bathtime we are ready!" In went the water, warm and clear, With bubbles big and small, Jack and Jill splashed happily, The best bathtime of all!

And Jill came tumbling after.
