He's a very nice prince

And?

And

It's a very nice ball

And?

And

When I entered, they trumpeted

And?
The Prince?

Oh, the Prince

Yes, the Prince!

Well, he's tall

Is that all?

Did you dance?
Is he charming?
They say that he's charming 

We did nothing but dance

Yes?
And?

And it made a nice change

No, the Prince!

Oh, the Prince?

Yes, the Prince 

He has charm for a Prince, I guess

Guess?

I don't meet a wide range

Did he bow?
Was he cold and polite?

And it's all very strange

Did you speak?
Did he flirt?
Could you tell right away he was royalty?

Is he sensitive
Clever
Well-mannered
Considerate
Passionate
Charming
As kind as he's handsome
As wise as he's rich
Is he everything you've ever wanted?

Would I know?

Well, I know!

But how can you know what you want
'Til you get what you want
And you see if you like it?

Would I know?

All I know is

I never wish

What I want most of all

Just within reason

Is to know what I want

When you know you can't have what you want
Where's the profit in wishing?

He's a very nice prince

What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes 

Will you look over there? An enormous beanstalk growing next to that little cottage!

I mean slippers as pure as gold!

I must get home!

I need your shoe!

Wait!

One midnight gone

No knot unties itself

Sometimes the things you most wish for are not to be touched

The harder to get, the better to have

Never wear mauve at a ball

Or pink

Or open your mouth

The difference between a cow and a bean
Is a bean can begin an adventure

Slotted spoons don't hold much soup

The prettier the flower, the farther from the path

The closer to the family, the closer to the wine

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

One midnight gone!

The mouth of a wolf's not the end of the world

A servant is not just a dog to a prince

Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor

You may know what you need
But to get what you want
Better see that you keep what you have 

One midnight gone

Sometimes the things you most wish for are not to be touched

The harder to get, the better to have

One midnight gone one midnight gone

Never wear mauve at a ball

Or pink

Slotted spoons don't hold much soup

To get what you want better keep what you

The prettier the flower

One midnight gone one midnight gone

Into the woods
Into the woods
Into the woods, then out of the woods
And home before!

There are giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible giants in the sky!

When you're way up high and you look below
At the world you've left and the things you know
Little more than a glance is enough to show
You just how small you are

When you're way up high and you're on your own
In a world like none that you've ever known
Where the sky is lead and the earth is stone

You're free to do
Whatever pleases you
Exploring things you'd never dare
'Cause you don't care
When suddenly there's

A big tall terrible giant at the door
A big tall terrible lady giant sweeping the floor
And she gives you food
And she gives you rest
And she draws you close
To her giant breast
And you know things now that you never knew before
Not 'til the sky

Only just when you've made a friend and all
And you know she's big but you don't feel small
Someone bigger than her comes along the hall
To swallow you for lunch

And your heart is lead and your stomach stone
And you're really scared being all alone
And it's then that you miss all the things you've known
And the world you left, and the little you own

The fun is done
You steal what you can and run!
And you scramble down
And you look below
And the world you know
Begins to grow:

The roof, the house, and your mother at the door
The roof, the house, and the world
You never thought to explore
And you think of all of the things you've seen
And you wish that you could live in between
And you're back again
Only different than before
After the sky

There are giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible awesome scary
Wonderful giants in the sky!
