logo
Şarkı Sözleri
Once upon a time in a far off kingdom there lay a small village at the edge of the woods

I wish

And in this village

More than anything

Lived a young maiden

More than jewels

A sad young lad

I wish

And a childless baker

More than life

I wish

With his wife

More than anything

More than the moon

I wish

The King is giving a Festival

More than life

I wish

I wish to go to the Festival

More than riches

I wish my cow would

Give us some milk

More than anything

And the Ball

Please pal

I wish we had a child

I want a child

I wish to go to the Festival

Squeeze pal

I wish you'd give us some

Milk or even cheese

I wish

I wish we might have a child

I wish

I wish

You wish to go to the Festival

The poor girl's mother had died

You Cinderella the Festival

You wish to go to the Festival

What you Cinderella the Festival

The Festival

What you wish to go to the Festival

The Festival

The King's Festival

And her father had taken for his new wife

The Festival

A woman with two daughters of her own

Look at you nails

Look at your dress

People would laugh at you

Nevertheless

I still want to go to the Festival

And dance before the Prince

She still wants to go to the Festival

And dance before the Prince

All three were beautiful of face but vile and balck of heart

Jack on the other hand had no father and his mother

I wish

Well she was not quite beautiful

I wish my son were not a fool

I wish my house was not a mess

I wish the cow was full of milk

I wish the house was full of gold

I wish a lot of things

Why come in little girl

I wish

It's not for me

It's for my Granny in the woods

A loaf of bread please

To bring my poor old hungry

Granny in the woods

Just a loaf of bread please

Cinderella's Stepmother had a surprise for her

I have emptied a pot of lentils into the ashes for you

If you have picked them out again in two hours' time

You shall go to the ball with us

And perhaps a sticky bun

Or four

Birds in the sky

Birds in the eaves

I the leaves

In the fields

In the castles and ponds

And a few of those pies please

Come little birds

Down from the eaves

And the leaves

Over fields

Out of castles and ponds

No squeeze pal

Ahhh

Quick little birds

Flick through the ashes

Pick and peck but swiftly

Sift through the ashes

Into the pot

Listen well son

Milky White must be taken to market

But mother no he's the best cow

Look at her

There are bugs on her dugs

There are flies in her eyes

There's a lump on her rump

Big enough to be a hump

But

Son

We've no time to sit and dither

While her wither's wither with her

And no one keeps a cow for a friend

Sometimes I fear your touched

Into the woods

It's time to go

I hate to leave

I have to though

Into the woods

It's time and so

I must begin my journey

Into the woods

And through the trees

To where I am

Expected ma'am

Into the woods

To Grandmother's house

Into the woods

To Grandmother's house

You're certain of your way

The way is clear

The light is good

I have no fear

Nor no one should

The woods are just trees

The trees are just wood

I sort of hate to ask it

But do you have a basket

Into the woods

And down the dell

The path is straight

I know it well

Into the woods

And who can tell

What's waiting on the journey

Into the woods

To bring some bread

To Granny who

Is sick in bed

Never can tell

What lies ahead

For all that I know

She's already dead

But into the woods

Into the woods

Into the woods

To Grandmother's house

And home before dark

Fly birds

Back to the sky

Back to the eaves

And the leaves

And the fields

And the

Hurry up and do my hair Cinderella

Are you really wearing that

Here I found a little tear Cinderella

Can't you hide it with a hat

You look beautiful

I know

She means me

Put it in a twist

Who will be there

Mother said be good

Father said be nice

That was always their advice

So be nice Cinderella

Good Cinderella

Nice good good nice

Tighter

What's the good of being good

If everyone is blind

And you're always left behind

Never mind Cinderella

Kind Cinderella

Nice good nice kind good nice

Not that tight

Sorry

Clod

Who might that be

It's the witch from next door

The old enchantress told the couple she had

Placed a spell on their house

What spell

In the past when your mother was with child she developed

An unusual appetite

She took one look at my beautiful garden

And told your father that what she wanted more than

Anything in the world was

Greens greens and nothing but greens:

Parsley peppers cabbages and celery

Asparagus and watercress and

Fiddleferns and lettuce

He said All right

But it wasn't quite

'Cause I caught him in the autumn

In my garden one night

He was robbing me

Raping me

Rooting through my rutabaga

Raiding my arugula and

Ripping up my rampion

My champion My favorite

I should have laid a spell on him

Right there

Could have changed him into stone

Or a dog or a chair

But I let him have the rampion

I'd lots to spare

In return however

I said Fair is fair:

You can let me have the baby

That your wife will bear

And we'll call it square

I had a brother

No

But you had a sister

But the witch refused to tell him anymore of his sister

Not even that her name was Rapunzel

I though I had been more than reasonable

But how was I to know what your father

Had also hidden in his pocket

What

Beans

Beans

The special beans

I let him go

I didn't know

He'd stolen my beans

I was watching him crawl

Back over the wall

Then bang Crash

And the lightning flash

And well that's another story

Never mind

Anyway at last

The big day came

And I made my claim

Oh don't take away the baby

They shrieked and screeched

But I did

And I hid her

Where she'll never be reached

And your father cried

And your mother died

When for extra measure

I admit it was a pleasure

I said Sorry

I'm still not mollified

And I laid little spell on them

You too son

That your family tree

Would always be a barren one

So there's no more fuss

And there's no more scenes

And my garden thrives

You should see my nectarines

But I'm telling you the same

I tell kings and queens:

Don't ever never ever

Mess around with my greens

Especially the beans

Now closely to me Jack

Lead Milky White to market and

Fetch the best price you can

Are you listening to me

Jack Jack Jack

Head in a sack

The house is getting colder

This is not the time for dreaming

Chimney stack

Starting to crack

The mice are getting bolder

The floor's gone slack

Your mother's getting older

Your father's not back

And you can't just sit here dreaming pretty dreams

To wish and wait

From day to day

Will never keep

The wolves away

So into the woods

The time is now

We have to live

I don't care how

Into the woods

To sell the cow

You must begin the journey

Straight to the woods

And don't delay

You have to face

The marketplace

Into the woods to journey's end

Into the woods to sell a friend

Meanwhile the Witch for purposes of her own

Explained how the Baker might lift the spell

You wish to have

The curse reversed

I'll need a certain

Potion first

Go to the woods and bring me back

One:the cow as white as milk

Two:the cape as red as blood

Three:the hair as yellow as corn

Four:the slipper as pure as gold

Bring me these

Before the chime

Of midnight

In three day's time

And you shall have

I guarantee

A child as perfect

As child can be

Go to the wood

Ladies

Our carriage waits

Now may I go to the Festival

The Festival

Darling those nails

Darling those clothes

Lentils are one thing but

Darling with those

You'd make us the fools of the Festival

And mortify the Prince

Our carriage is waiting

We must be gone

Good night Father

I wish

Look what I found in father's hunting jacket

Six beans

We'll take them with us

No

The spell is on my house

Only I can lift the spell

The spell is on my house

No no the spell is on our house

We must lift the spell

No

You are not to come and that is final

Now what am I to return with

You don't remember

The cow as white as milk

The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn

The slipper as pure as gold

The cow as white as milk

The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn

The slipper as pure as gold

And so the Baker reluctantly set off to meet the

Enchantress' demands

As for Cinderella:

I still wish to go to the Festival

But how am I ever to get to the Festival

The cow as white as milk

The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn

I know

I'll visit Mother's grave

The grave at the hazel tree

And tell her I just want to

Go to the King's Festival

The slipper as pure as gold

The cow the cape

The slipper as pure as gold

The hair

Into the woods

It's time to go

It may be all

In vain youI know

Into the woods

But even so

I have to take the journey

Into the woods

The path is straight

You know it well

But who can tell

Into the woods to lift the spell

Into the woods to visit Mother

Into the woods to fetch the things

To make the potion

To got to the Festival

Into the woods

Without regret

The choice is made

The task is set

Into the woods

But not forget

Ting why I'm on the journey

Little Red Riding hood Joins

Into the woods

To get my wish

I don't care how

The time is now

Into the woods to sell the cow

Into the woods to get the money

Into the woods to lift the spell

To make the potion

To go to the Festival

Into the woods to Grandmother's house

Into the woods to Grandmother's house

The way is clear

The light is good

I have no fear

No no one should

The woods are just trees

The trees are just wood

No need to be afraid there

There's something in the glade there

Into the woods

Without delay

But careful no

To lose the way

Into the woods

Who knows what may

Be lurking on the journey

Into the woods

To get the thing

That makes it worth

The journeying

Into the woods

To see the King

To sell the cow

To make the potion

To see

To sell

To get

To bring

To make

To live

To go to the Festival

Into the woods

Into the woods

Into the woods

Then out of the woods

And home before dark
