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
Till 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 (The harder to get, the better to have)
Are not to be touched! (One midnight gone, one midnight gone)
To get what you want (never wear mauve at a ball or pink) (agreed?)
Better keep what you- (the prettier the flower) (agreed)
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 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!
