Once upon a time-later-

I wish-

-in that same far-off kingdom-

More than anything-

-lived a young princess-

More than life-

-the lad, Jack-

More than footmen-

I wish-

-and the baker with his family-

Waaah!

No, I miss-

I wish-

Waaah!

More than anything-

More than the moon-

There, there-

I wish to sponsor a Festival...

Waaah!

More than life-

I miss-

The time has come for a Festival-

Waaah!

More than riches-

And a ball-

I miss my kingdom up in the sky

More than anything-

I wish we had more room-

Play, harp-

Another room-

Waaah!

But despite some minor inconveniences, they were all quite content 

I never thought I'd wed a prince-

I never thought I'd find perfection-

I never thought I could be so happy!

Not an unhappy moment since-

I didn't think we'd be this rich-

Not a conceivable objection-

I never thought we'd have a baby-

I didn't know I could be so happy!

I'm so happy!

Happy now
Happy hence
Happy ever after-

We're so happy you're so happy!
Just as long as you stay happy
We'll stay happy!

Not one row-

Pots of pence-

With my cow-

Little gurgles-

Darling, I must go now-

We should really sell it

Where's the cheesecloth?

Wishes may bring problems
Such that you regret them
Better that, though
Than to never get them-

I'm going to be a perfect wife!

I'm going to be the perfect son!

I'm going to be a perfect mother!

I'm going to be a perfect father!
I'm so happy!

I'm going to see that he (she)
Is so happy!

I never thought I'd love my life!
I would have settled for another!

Then to become a wife-

Then to be set for life-

Then to beget a child-

That fortune smiled-
I'm so hap-

Have you done this to our house?

Always thinking of yourself. Look at my garden. 

Destroyed!

Who could do such a thing?

Do you think it was a bear?

A bear? Bears are sweet
Besides, you ever see a bear with forty-foot feet?

Dragon?

No scorch marks-usually they're linked

Manticore?

Imaginary

Griffin?

Extinct

Giant?

Possible
Very, very possible-

More than possible. Their fears would prove to be very well-founded. 

Into the woods
It's always when
You think at last
You're through, and then
Into the woods you go again
To take another journey

Into the woods
The weather's clear
We've been before
We've naught to fear-
Into the woods, away from here-

Into the woods, to find a giant!

Into the woods to Grandmother's house-

Into the woods
The path is straight
No reason, then
To hesitate-

Into the woods
It's not so late
It's just another journey-

Into the woods
But not too long:
The skies are strange
The winds are strong
Into the woods to see what's wrong-

Into the woods
To slay the giant!

Into the woods
To shield the child-
To flee the winds-

To find a future-

To shield-

To slay-

To flee-

To find-

To fix-

To hide-

To move-

To battle-

To see what the trouble is-

Aaarrrggghhh!!!
