Thread Name: ADD: The Second Story Window (various songs)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Second Story Window
When my friends and I sang it in New York City in the late 1950s, early 1960s, we incremented the story in each chorus, something like,
Jack and Jill went up the hill/To fetch a pail of water/Jack fell down and broke his crown/And threw it out the window, the window/The FIRST story window/Jack fell down and broke his crown/And threw it out the window,
then Mary threw her little lamb out the SECOND story window, Jack Horner threw his plum out the THIRD story window, and so on.
