(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)
Waah
No, I miss
I wish
Waah

More than anything
More than the moon

There, there
I wish to sponsor a Festival
Waah
More than life

I miss
The time has come for a Festival
Waah
Shh
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 would 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 he cheesecloth?
Wishes may bring problems
Such that you regret them

Better that, though
Than to never get them
I'm going to be a perfect wife
I'm going to be a perfect son
I'm going to be a perfect mother

I'm going to be a perfect father
I'm so happy
I'm going to see that he/she
Is so happy
I never thought I'd love my life
I would have settled for another

Then to become a wife
Then to be step for life
Then to beget a child
That fortune smiled
I'm so hap

A loud rumbling noise
Is followed by an enormous crash
The Baler's house caves in
He is caught underneath the rubble
As his wife runs forward with their baby
The witch enters

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 than 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 find
To fix, to hide, to move, to battle
To see what the trouble is
