[Baker]

It's because of you there's a Giant in our midst

And my Wife is dead!

[Jack]

But it isn't my fault

I was given those beans!

You persuaded me to trade away

My cow for beans!

And without those beans

There'd have been no stalk

To get up to the Giants

In the first place!

[Baker]

Wait a minute, magic beans

For a cow so old

That you had to tell

A lie to sell

It, which you told!

Were they worthless beans?

Were they oversold?

Oh, and tell us who

Persuaded you

To steal that gold

[Little Red Riding Hood]

See, it's your fault

[Jack]

No!

[Baker]

So it's your fault

[Jack]

No!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

Yes, it is!

[Jack]

It's not!

[Baker]

It's true

[Jack]

Wait a minute

But I only stole the gold

To get my Cow back from you!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

So it's your fault!

[Jack]

Yes!

[Baker]

No, it isn't!

I'd have kept those beans

But our house was cursed

She made us get the cow to get

The curse reversed!

[Witch]

It's your father's fault

That the curse got placed

And the place got cursed

In the first place!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

Oh, Then it's his fault! So

[Cinderella]

It was his fault

[Jack]

No

[Baker]

Yes, it is, It's his

[Cinderella]

I guess

[Jack]

Wait a minute, though

I chopped down the beanstalk

Right? That's clear

But without any beanstalk

Then what's queer

Is how did the second Giant get down here

In the first place?

Second place

[Cinderella]

Yes!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

How?

[Baker]

Hmmm

[Jack]

Well

Who had the other bean?

[Baker]

The other bean?

[Cinderella]

The other bean?

[Jack]

You pocketed the other bean

[Baker]

I didn't!

Yes I did

[Little Red Riding Hood]

So it's your!

[Baker]

No, it isn't

'Cause I gave it to my Wife!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

So it's her!

[Baker]

No, it isn't!

[Cinderella]

Then whose is it?

[Baker]

Wait a minute!

She exchanged that bean

To obtain your shoe

So the one who knows what happened

To that bean is you!

[Cinderella]

You mean that old bean

That your Wife? Oh, dear

But I never knew

And so I threw

Well, don't look here!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

So it's your fault!

[Cinderella]

But-

[Jack]

See, it's her fault

[Cinderella]

But-

[Jack]

And it isn't mine at all!

[Baker]

But what?

[Cinderella]

Well, if you hadn't gone

Back up again

[Jack]

We were needy

[Cinderella]

You were greedy!

Did you need that hen?

[Jack]

But I got it for my Mother!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

So it's her fault then!

[Cinderella]

Yes? And what about the harp

In the third place?

[Baker]

Ther harp, yes!

[Jack]

She went and dared me to!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

I dared you to?

[Jack]

You dared me to!

She said that I was scared-

[Little Red Riding Hood]

Me?

[Jack]

To. She dared me!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

No, I didn't!

[Cinderella, Jack and Baker]

So it's your fault!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

Wait a minute!

[Cinderella]

If you hadn't dared him to-

[Baker]

And you had left the harp alone

We wouldn't be in trouble

In the first place!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

Well, if you hadn't thrown away the bean

In the first place!

[Cinderella]

Well, if she hadn't raised them in the first place!

[Little Red Riding Hood]

It was your fault!

[Jack]

Yes, if you hadn't raised them in the first place!

[Little Red Riding Hood and Baker]

Right! It's you raised them in the first place!

[Cinderella]

You raised the beans in the first place!

[Jack]

It's your fault!

[Cinderella, Jack, Baker and Lil Red]

You're responsible!

You're the one to blame!

It's your fault!

[Witch & (The Others)]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

It's the last midnight

It's the last wish

It's the last midnight

Soon it will be boom, squish!

Told a little lie

Stole a little gold

Broke a little vow

Did you?

Had to get your Prince

Has to get your cow

Have to get your wish

Doesn't matter how

Anyway, it doesn't matter now

It's the last midnight

It's the boom, splat!

Nothing but a vast midnight

Everybody smashed flat!

Nothing we can do

Not exactly true

We can always give her the boy

No?

No, of course what really matters

Is the blame, Somebody to blame

Fine, if that's the thing you enjoy

Placing the blame, If that's the aim

Give me the blame

Just give me the boy

(No!) No?

You're so nice

You're not good

You're not bad

You're just nice

I'm not good

I'm not nice

I'm just right

I'm the Witch

You're the world

I'm the hitch

I'm what no one believes

I'm the Witch

You're all liars and thieves

Like his father

Like his son will be, too

Oh, why bother?

You'll just do what you do

It's the last midnight

So, goodbye all

Coming at you fast, midnight

Soon you'll see the sky fall

Here, you want a bean?

Have another bean

Beans were made for making you rich!

Plant them and they soar

Here, you want some more?

Listen to the roar giants by the score!

Oh well, you can blame another witch

It's the last midnight

It's the last verse

Now, before it's past midnight

I'm leaving you my last curse

I'm leaving you alone

You can tend the garden, it's yours

Separate and alone

Everybody down on all fours

All right, mother, when?

Lost the beans again!

Punish me the way you did then!

Give me claws and a hunch

Just away from this bunch

And the gloom

And the doom

And the boom

Cruuunch!
