           The window, the window, the second story window,
    With a heave ho and a mighty blow, he threw it out the window.

        Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
   Jack fell down and broke his crown, she threw him out the window!
            The window, the window, the second story window
   With a heave ho and a mighty blow, she threw him out the window.

         Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow
      And everywhere that Mary went she threw it out the window!
            The window, the window, the second story window
   With a heave ho and a mighty blow, she threw it out the window.
