[Narrator]

And the Baker gave Jack five beans in exchange for his cow

Keeping one for himself

[Jack]

(to Milky-White)

I guess this is goodbye, old pal

You've been a perfect friend

I hate to have to part, old pal

Some day I'll buy you back

I'll see you soon again

I hope that when I do

It won't be on a plate

[Baker]

Magic beans!

[Baker's Wife]

No one would have given him more

For this creature

[Baker]

Are we to dispel this curse through deceit?

[Baker's Wife]

If you know

What you want

Then you go

And you find it

And you get it-

[Baker]

(pointing off)

Home

[Baker's Wife]

Do we want a child or not?

And you give

And you take

And you bid

And you bargain

Or youl I've

To regret it

[Baker]

Will you please go home?

[Baker's Wife]

There are rights and wrongs

And in-betweens-

No one waits

When fortune intervenes

And maybe they're really magic

Who knows?

Why you do

What you do

That's the point

All the rest of it

Is chatter

[Baker]

(gesturing toward Milky-White)

Look at her, She's crying

[Baker's Wife]

If the thing you do

Is pure in intent

If it's meant

And it's just a little bent

Does it matter?

[Baker]

Yes

[Baker's Wife]

No, what matters is that

Everyone tells tiny lies

What's important, really, is the size

Only three more tries

And we'll have our prize

When the end's in sight

You'll realize

If the end is right

It justifies

The beans!
