Jack and Jill's Mistake
Jack and Jill's Mistake
by Melanie D Palmer
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jill forgot her pill, yet fooled around
Nine months later, had a baby daughter
Because of the one mistake they made
Taking care of the baby, took a lot of time
What were they going to do now
They had no money, not even a dime
Jack had taken responsibility
Got a job like he should
Jill took care of the baby
Same way you and I would
Jack later got on his knee
Proposed to his only true one
Jill said she definitely would
Got married under the beautiful sun
For every mistake we make
There's always a price to pay
Think before you go ahead
And have a baby today
