A Very Nice Prince / First Midnight / Giants In The Sky

[Cinderella]

He's a very nice Prince

[Baker's Wife]

And?

[Cinderella]

And-

It's a very nice ball

[Baker's Wife]

And?

[Cinderella]

And-

When I entered they trumpeted

[Baker's Wife]

And?

The Prince?

[Cinderella]

Oh, the Prince

[Baker's Wife]

Yes, the Prince!

[Cinderella]

Well, he's tall

[Baker's Wife]

Is that all?

Did you dance?

Is he charming?

They say that he's charming

[Cinderella]

We did nothing but dance

[Baker's Wife]

Yes? And?

[Cinderella]

And it made a nice change

[Baker's Wife]

No, the Prince!

[Cinderella]

Oh, the Prince

[Baker's Wife]

Yes, the Prince

[Cinderella]

He has charm for a Prince, I guess

[Baker's Wife]

Guess?

[Cinderella]

I don't meet a wide range

[Baker's Wife]

Did he bow?

Was he cold and polite?

[Cinderella]

And it's all very strange

[Baker's Wife]

Did he 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?

[Cinderella]

Would I know?

[Baker's Wife]

Well, I know

[Cinderella]

But how can you know what you want

Till you get what you want

And you see if you like it?

[Baker's Wife]

Would I know?

[Cinderella]

All I know is-

[Baker's Wife]

I never wish-

[Cinderella]

What I want most of all-

[Baker's Wife]

Just within reason

[Cinderella]

Is to know what I want

[Baker's Wife]

When you know you can't have what you want

Where's the profit in wishing?

[Both]

He's a very nice Prince

[Baker's Wife]

What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes

[Cinderella]

Will you look over there, an enormous beanstalk

Growing next to that little cottage

[Baker's Wife]

I mean slippers as pure as gold

[Cinderella]

I must get home

[Baker's Wife]

I need you shoes

Wait!

[Baker]

One midnight gone

[Mysterious man]

No know unties itself

[Witch]

Sometimes the things you most wish for are not

To be touched

[Princes]

The harder to get, the better to have

[Florinda]

Never wear mauve at a ball

[Lucinda]

Or pink

[Stepmother]

Or open your mouth

[Jack]

The difference between a cow and a bean

Is a bean can begin an adventure

[Jack's Mother]

Slotted spoons don't hold much soup

[Little Red Riding Hood]

The prettier the flower, the farther from the path

[Cinderella's Father]

The closer to the family, the closer to the wine

[Rapunzel]

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Witch]

One midnight gone!

[Granny]

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

[Steward]

A servant is not just a dog, to a Prince

[Cinderella]

Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor

[Baker's Wife]

You may know what you need

But to get what you want

Better see that you keep what you have

[Baker]

One midnight gone

[Witch]

Sometimes the things you most wish for are not

To be touched

[Princes]

The harder to get

The better to have

Agreed

[Baker]

One midnight gone one midnight gone

[Florinda]

Never wear mauve at a ball

[Lucinda]

Or pink

[Jack's Mother]

Slotted spoons don't hold much soup

[Baker's Wife]

To get what you want

Better keep what you

[Little Red Riding Hood]

The prettier the flower

[All]

One midnight gone

Into the woods

Into the woods

Into the woods, then out of the woods

And home before-

[Jack]

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 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 own 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 till 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 you 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've 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!
