1.

Jack & Jill

climbed the hill

to fetch a pail of water

& at the top they

found each other.

Jack said:

“hey hey little girl

you’ve got a white dress

                                                          on

& a white light

in your eyes!”

Jill said:

“hey hey little boy

you’ve got a white suit

                                                      on

& a white light

in your eyes!”

so they found each other

& left the pail of water behind.

they started climbing to heaven

& left the pail of water behind.

they kept climbing to heaven

all their lives

& never stopped.

2.

Jack & Jill again

they walked up to heaven

& walked & walked

& as they walked,

little Joey came by

– he had a dirty face –

he said:

“hey Jack!

how do you get

that white light in your head?”

& he said:

“hey Jill!

how do you get

that white light in your head?”

Jack said:

“you just turn it on.”

& Jill said:

“you just turn it on.”
