I wish a lot of things

What in heaven's name are you doing with the cow inside the house

Jack: I thought if he got nice and warm

He might produce some milk

Jack's mother: It's a she

How many times do I have to tell you

That only shes can give milk

Narrator: And then there was a hungry little girl

who always wore a red cape

Little Red Riding Hood: I wish

It's not for me

It's for my Granny in the woods

A loaf of bread please

To bring my poor old hungry granny in the woods

Just a loaf of bread please

Stepmother: Cinderella

If you can pick up these lentils

And finish your chores in time

Then you may go to the ball with us

Come along ladies

Stepsisters: Yes Mother

Good luck

Cinderella: Come little birds

Down from the eaves

And the leaves

Over fields

Out of castles and ponds

Jack: Now squeeze pal

Cinderella: Ahh

Quick little birds

Flick through the ashes

Pick and peck but swiftly

Sift through the ashes

Into the pot

Jack's mother: Now listen to me well son

Milky-White must be taken to market

Jack: Mother no

He's the best cow in the world

Jack's mother: Was

She has been dry for weeks now

With no food or money

We've got no choice but to sell her

Jack: But Milky-White's my best friend

Jack's mother: Look at her

There are bugs on her dugs

There are flies in her eyes

There's a lump on her rump

Big enough to be a hump

Jack: But

Jack's mother: We've no time to sit and dither

While her withers wither with her

And no one keeps a cow for a friend

Sometimes I wonder what's goin' on in that head in yours

Little Red Riding Hood: Into the woods

It's time to go

I hate to leave

I have to go

Into the woods

It's time and so

I must begin my journey

Into the woods

And through the trees

To where I am

Expected ma'am

Into the woods

To Grandmother's house

Into the woods

To Grandmother's house

Baker's Wife: Are you certain your way

Little Red Riding Hood: The way is clear

The light is good

I have no fear

Nor no one should

The woods are just trees

The trees are just wood

I sort of hate to ask it

But do you have a basket

Baker's Wife: Yes we do

The Baker: Doesn't suppose you're planning on buying any of these

Baker's Wife: Oh shhhhh

Now don't stray and be late alright

The Baker: You might save some of those sweets for Granny

Oh my

Baker's Wife: Just leave it

Baker: She's a thief

Little Red Riding Hood: Into the woods

And down the dell

The path is straight

I know it well

Into the woods

And who can tell

What's waiting on the journey

Into the woods

To bring some bread

To Granny who

Is sick in bed

Never can tell

What lies ahead

For all that I know

She's already dead

But into the woods

Into the woods

Into the woods

To Grandmother's house

And home before dark

Florinda: Cinderella

Lucinda: Get up here

Cinderella: Fly birds

Back to the sky

Florinda: We're waiting

Cinderella: Back to the eaves

And the leaves

And the fields

And the

Florinda: Hurry up and do my hair Cinderella

Are you really wearing that

Lucinda: Here I found a little tear Cinderella

Can't you hide it with a hat

Cinderella: You look beautiful

Florinda: I know

Lucinda: She means me

Florinda: No she didn't

Cinderella: Mother said be good

Father said be nice

That was always their advice

So be nice Cinderella

Good Cinderella

Nice good good nice

Florinda: Tighter

Cinderella: What's the good of being good

If everyone is blind

Always leaving you behind

Never mind Cinderella

Kind Cinderella

Nice good nice kind good nice

Florinda: OW

Not that tight

Clod

The Baker: Who might that be

Baker's Wife: We've sold our last loaf of bread

The Baker: It's the witch from next-door

Baker's Wife: We have no bread

The Witch: I don't want your bread

The Baker: Then what is it you wish

The Witch: It's not what I wish

It's what you wish

Nothing cooking in that belly now is there

And there will never be

Unless you do exactly as I say

In three days time a blue moon will appear

Only then can the curse be

Undone

Baker's Wife: What curse

The Witch: The one I placed on this house

The Baker: What are you talking about

The Witch: In the past

When you were no more than a babe

Your father brought his young wife

And you to this cottage

They were a lovely couple

But not lovely neighbors

You see

Your mother was with child

And she developed an unusual appetite

She admired my beautiful garden

And she told your father that

What she wanted more than anything

In the world was

Greens greens nothing but greens

Parsley peppers cabbages and celery

Asparagus and watercress and

Fiddleferns and lettuce

He said All right

But it wasn't quite

'Cause I caught him in the autumn

In my garden one night

He was robbing me

Raping me

Rooting through my rutabaga

Raiding my arugula

And ripping up the rampion

My champion

My favorite

I should have laid a spell on him

Right there

I could have turned him into stone

Or a dog

Or a chair

But I let him have the rampion

I'd lots to spare

In return however

I said Fair is fair

You can let me have the baby

That your wife will bear

And we'll call it square

The Baker: I had a brother

The Witch: No

But you had a sister

The Baker: Where is she

The Witch: She's mine now

And you'll never find her

Small price to pay for

What else your father stole from me

It cost me my youth

My beauty

My mother warned me

She would punish me

With the curse of ugliness

If I ever lost any of them

Baker's Wife: Lost what

The Witch: The beans

The Bakers: Beans

Witch: The special beans

I'd let him go

I didn't know

he'd stolen my beans

I was watching him crawl

Back over the wall

Then bang

Crash

A lightning flash

Well that's another story

Never mind

Anyway at last

The big day came

And I made my claim

Oh don't take away the baby

They shrieked and screeched

But I did

And I hid her

Where she'll never be reached

And your father cried

And your mother died

When for extra measure

I admit it was a pleasure

I said Sorry

I'm still not mollified

And I laid a little spell on them

You too son

That your family tree

Would always be a barren one

The Baker: How could you do that

The Witch: And when your mother died

Your father deserted you

Your father was no father

So why should you be

Now there's no more fuss

And there's no more scenes

And my garden thrives

You should see my nectarines

But I'm telling you the same

I tell kings and queens

Don't ever never ever

Mess around with my greens

Especially the beans

Jack: Yeah but why do we have to go to the next village

Jack's mother: Because everyone in this village

Knows the cow hasn't given a drop of milk in weeks

Jack: That's cheating

Jack's mother: We're starving Jack

Don't you understand that

Now you're not to accept less than five pounds for her

Are you listening to me

Jack: Yes

Jack's mother: How much are you to ask

Jack: No more than five pounds

Jack's mother: Less than five (Jack: Than five)

Jack's mother: Into the woods

The time is now

We have to live

I don't care how

Into the woods to sell the cow

You must begin the journey

Straight to the woods

And don't delay

We have to face

The marketplace

Into the woods to journey's end

Jack: Into the woods to sell a friend

Witch: You wish to have

The curse reversed

I'll need a certain

Potion first

Go to the woods and bring me back

One: the cow as white as milk

Two: the cape as red as blood

Three: the hair as yellow as corn

Four: the slipper as pure as gold

Bring me these

Before the chime of midnight

In three day's time

Tis' then the blue moon reappears

Which comes but once each hundred years

Just bring them

And I guarantee

A child as perfect

As child can be

Go to the wood

Stepmother: Ladies

Our carriage waits

Cinderella: Now may I go to the Festival

Stepmother: The Festival

Darling those nails

Darling those clothes

Lentils are one thing but

Darling with those

You'd make us the fools of the Festival

And mortify the Prince

Cinderella: The Festival lasts three nights

Surely you could let me be there for one of them

Stepmother: The King is trying to find his son a wife

Not a scullery maid

We must be gone

GO

Cinderella: I wish

Baker's Wife: Beans

These must be the witch's beans

We'll take them with us

The Baker: We

Baker's Wife: Yes

The Baker: We

You're not coming

It's not safe out there

Baker's Wife: : I can help you

The Baker: No

I can do this on my own

The spell is on my house

Only I can lift the spell

Baker's Wife: No-no the spell is on our house

We must lift the spell together

The spell is on our house

The Baker: Now tell me what am I to return with

Baker's Wife: Uh you don't remember

The cow as white as milk

The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn

The slipper as pure as gold

The Baker: The cow as white as milk

The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn

The slipper as pure as gold

Cinderella: I still wish to go to the Festival

The Baker: The cow as white as milk

Cinderella: But how am I ever to get to the Festival

I know

I'll visit Mother's grave

The grave at the willow tree

And tell her I just want to go to the King's Festival

Baker's Wife: The hair

Cinderella & The Baker：Into the woods

It's time to go

It may be all

In vain I/you know

Into the woods

But even so

I have to take the journey

Baker's Wife: Into the woods

The path is straight

You know it well

The Baker: But who can tell

Baker's Wife: Into the woods to lift the spell

Cinderella: Into the woods to visit Mother

Jack's mother: Into the woods to sell the cow

Jack: To get the money

Cinderella: To go to the Festival

Little Red Riding Hood: Into the woods to grandmother's house

Into the woods to grandmother's house

All: The way is clear

The light is good

I have no fear

Nor no one should

The woods are just trees

The trees are just wood

No need to be afraid there

The Baker: There's something in the glade there

All: Into the woods

Without delay

But careful not

To lose the way

Into the woods

Who knows what may

Be lurking on the journey

Into the woods

To get the thing

That makes it worth

The journeying

Into the woods

Stepmother & Stepsisters: To see the King

Jack & Mother: To sell the cow

The Baker & Wife: To make the potion

All: To see

To sell

To get

To bring

To make

To lift

To go to the Festival

Into the woods

Into the woods

Into the woods

Then out of the woods

Into the woods

And out of the woods

And home before dark
