Ok people. While all of your responses have been appreciated, short of those who imply that i am using some sort of illegal substance, HAS ANYONE TRIED TO SING THE SONG BEFORE THEY RESPOND? Because NONE of your responses FIT THE TUNE, in either the musical or metaphorical sense.
Lisa, while you are right about the different vowels, there still is ONE MORE LINE. Your comment might even suggest that you would be perfectly content singing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" without ending with "....the lamb was sure to go". If we ended with "every where that Mary went-", Tell me you would not be driven to madness!
We would forever wonder: "Well what the fuck did the goddamn Lamb do then? Did she go off on her own and be an independent lamb? Did she find a fine he-lamb, romp like the horny bitch that she was was and start a family? Did she lose her way, and get mixed up with a pack of vile Goat? Did she even stay little?"
Do you see? The last line of such songs are the ESSENCE Lisa, the Catharsis if you will. You seem far to content to skip right over the last line and jump straight to the fun of vowel substitution. It's all fun and games until someone skips over the last line, isn't it, LISA?
And Sarah, while i appreciate the fact that you took the time to spell out all five vowel substitutions, your version certainly does NOT fit the tune of the song. In fact the lyrics and repitition of them which you imply would be SO FAR of the tune; It would seem that you would be perfectly happy to sing the Lyrics of "London Bridge" to the tune of "Jack and Jill".
Now, imagine what would have happened to both Jack and Jill had they been on London Bridge when it fell down. This is what we get for the hasty writing of lyrics which do not match the tune of the song. Although, your crime is not as bad as Lisa's ignorance of the last line, since if Jack and Jill HAD been on London Bridge when it fell down, Jack most likely would STILL have fallen down and broken his crown, and Jill would most likely have still come tumbling after.
So people, we must come to a consensus, or a new solution all together. And this time, try SINGING the song to yourself before you respond. Hasty and cynical reponses will NOT be tolerated. This is begiining to seem like a viscious plot against nonsensical childrens songs everywhere. Let's stop it before it starts. Thank you everyone.
So now i will retire to bed, after i go wipe off my Mirrored-table and return my dollar bills to my pocket.
Oh and for those of you who might get any bright ideas, my table is dirty and my dollar bills are astray becasue i was cleaning out my wallet on the table. And i was only cleaning out my wallet because the voices in my head told me too. So if you've got a problem talk to them.
Comments, Anyone?

so i'm thinking that you're mixing up the "you say potato, i say potah-to...let's call the whole thing off" song with the "i like to eat, eat, eat, apples and banannas" song. because the version >>I

this is supposed to be a time of unity, romo. for shame.
Incidentally, sara and lisa are right. I remember it from summer camp.

I didn't even know that Jack and Jill had a tune? i thought it was just a rhyme....
And I agree with Lisa...if you have thought this hard about this song, you should have been punched in the face ages ago...

yes. she is right, there is no tune to jack and jill...which only enforces my original claim (although not really my claim, but neds under my name) that romo is a coke-head.
