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 No, I miss I wish More than anything More than the moon There, there I wish to sponsor a festival More than life I miss The time has come for a festival 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 But despite some minor inconveniences, they were all 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 never thought 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 a perfect son I'm going to be a perfect mother I'm going to be a perfect father 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 happy If only this cottage were a little larger I will expand our quarters in due time Why would we expand when we can simply move to another cottage? We will not move, this was my father's house, now it will be my son's You would raise your child alongside a Witch? Why does he always cry when I hold him? Babies cry, he's fine, you needn't hold him as if he were so fragile He wants his mother Here I can't take care of him all of the time I'll care for him when he's older We had to go through thick and thin We had to lose a lot to win I ventured out and saw within I never thought I'd be so much I hadn't been I'm so happy Oh, my goodness Are you all right? I think so And the baby? Yes, he's fine, are you all right? You, have you done this to our house? Always thinking of yourself, look at my garden What of your garden? Look Destroyed What has happened? I was thrown to the ground, I saw nothing What could do such a thing? An earthquake No earthquake, my garden has been trampled, those are footprints! Who could do such a thing? Anything that leaves a footprint that large is no "who" Do you think it was a bear? A bear? Bears are sweet Besides, you ever see a bear with forty-foot feet? A 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 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
