Prologue: So Happy

4 views

Lyrics

(Once upon a time... later)
 I wish
 (In that same far-off kingdom)
 More than anything (lived a young princess)
 More than life
 (The lad Jack)
 More than footmen
 I wish
 (And the baker with his family)
 No, I miss
 I wish
 More than anything
 More than the moon (there, there)
 I wish to sponsor a festival
 More than life
 I miss
 The time has come for a festival
 More than riches
 And a ball
 I miss my kingdom up in the sky
 More than anything
 I wish we had more room
 Another room
 (But despite some minor inconveniences
 They were all quite content)
 I never thought I'd wed a prince
 I never thought I'd find perfection
 I never thought I could be so happy!
 Not an unhappy moment since
 I didn't think we'd be this rich
 Not a conceivable objection
 I never thought we'd have a baby
 I didn't know I could be so happy!
 I'm so happy!
 Happy now
 Happy hence
 Happy ever after
 We're so happy you're so happy!
 Just as long as you stay happy
 We'll stay happy!
 Not one row
 Pots of pence
 With my cow
 Little gurgles
 Darling, I must go now
 We should really sell it
 Where's the cheesecloth?
 Wishes may bring problems
 Such that you regret them
 Better that, though
 Than never to get them
 I'm going to be a perfect wife!
 I'm going to be the perfect son!
 I'm going to be a perfect mother!
 I'm going to be a perfect father!
 I never thought I'd love my life!
 I would have settled for another!
 Then to become a wife
 And then to be set for life
 Then to beget a child
 That fortune smiled
 I'm so hap-!
 ♪
 Have you done this to our house?
 Always thinking of yourself! Look at my garden!
 Destroyed!
 Who could do such a thing?
 Do you think it was a bear?
 A bear? Bears are sweet
 Besides, you ever see a bear with forty-foot feet?
 Dragon?
 No scorch marks
 Usually they're linked
 Manticore?
 Imaginary
 Griffin?
 Extinct
 Giant?
 Possible
 Very, very possible
 (More than possible, their fears would prove to be well-founded)
 ♪
 Into the woods
 It's always when
 You think at last
 You're through, and then
 Into the woods you go again
 To take another journey
 Into the woods
 The weather's clear
 We've been before
 We've naught to fear
 Into the woods, away from here
 Into the woods to find a giant!
 Into the woods to Grandmother's house!
 Into the woods
 The path is straight
 No reason then
 To hesitate
 Into the woods
 It's not too late
 It's just another journey
 Into the woods
 But not too long
 The skies are strange
 The winds are strong
 Into the woods to see what's wrong
 Into the woods
 To slay the giant!
 Into the woods
 To shield the child
 To flee the winds
 To find a future
 To shield
 To slay
 To flee
 To fly
 To fix
 To hide
 To move
 To battle
 To see what the trouble is
