| Now this is the story of Jack and Jill
|
| And I don’t mean the couple who went up the hill
|
| I just mean a couple o' lovers that live next door
|
| And they’re always battlin' and I’m tryin' to keep the score
|
| They’re always
|
| Pettin' and pokin' and
|
| Jabbin' and jokin' and
|
| Cuein' and crackin' and
|
| Wooin' and wackin'
|
| They keep neckin' and knockin'
|
| Singin' and sockin' an'
|
| Squawkin' and squeezin' an'
|
| Burnin' and freezin'
|
| Why, he holds her hands as long as he’s able
|
| But when he lets go, she bops him with a table
|
| They start right in
|
| Pattin' and pinchin' and
|
| Cloudin' and clinchin'
|
| They’re enjoying themselves, havin' a good time
|
| Now Reverend Green thought he’d call one day
|
| On this nicely newly weds across the way
|
| But just as the pastor knocked on the door
|
| A straight right connected; |
| «Mop,» he hit the floor
|
| They was pettin' and poppin' and
|
| Bangin' and boppin'
|
| Cooin' and kissin' and
|
| Hittin' and missin'
|
| They kept on groovin' and grievin' and
|
| Lovin' and leavin'
|
| Kickin' and cacklin' and
|
| Ticklin' and tacklin'
|
| Now one night a neighbor tried some intervention
|
| But one short jab knocked out his good intention
|
| They started right in, stewin' and stabbin' and
|
| Jivin' and jabbin'
|
| Havin' a good time
|
| Now once a lion escaped from a circus train
|
| He strayed in Jack and Jill’s domain
|
| Just then they got in a towerin' rage
|
| Lion took one look and jumped back in his cage
|
| They started in swattin' and swingin' and
|
| Pottin' and playin'
|
| Stompin' and stabbin' and
|
| Groovin' and grabbin'
|
| They kept dancin' and duckin'
|
| Trippin' and truckin'
|
| Plottin' and pleadin' and
|
| Bangin' and bleedin'
|
| Her mother said, «I'll go right In there and fetch her»
|
| But mom came out riding on a stretcher
|
| They started right in
|
| Hittin' and holdin'
|
| Faintin' and foldin'
|
| They was enjoying themselves, havin' a good time
|
| Now once a reporter called on the wife
|
| Just to gather some data on her hectic life
|
| She told him she’d never found time for books
|
| She’s always busy duckin' left hooks
|
| They was always swattin' and swingin' and
|
| Sockin' and singin' and
|
| Cuttin' and cuddlin' and
|
| Messin' and muddlin' they kept on
|
| Fondlin' and fussin' and
|
| Kissin' and cussin' and
|
| Tappin' and teasin' and
|
| Squattin' and squeezin'
|
| Once a voice called out, «Stop! |
| I’m the law»
|
| But all he stopped was a haymaker to the jaw
|
| They started in jivin' and jumpin' and trobbin' and thumpin'
|
| They was enjoying themselves
|
| You see they were in love
|
| Ain’t married life wonderful?
|
| Hey, will somebody call Dr. Kildare?
|
| Is Dr. Christian in the house?
|
| Huh? |
