(ENJOY!)
Once upon a time-!
'I wish...'
-in a far-off kingdom-!
'More than anything-!...'
-lived a young maiden-!
'More than life!...'
-a sad carfree young lad-!
More than jewels!...
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...
And the Ball!...
JACK-I wish my cow would give us some milk!
More than anything!...
Baker-man and with his wife-I wish we had a child!
Jack-Please, pal-!
Baker-man and his wife-I want a child!...
Jack-Squeeze, pal-!
Cinderella-I wish to go to the Festival
I wish you'd give us some milk!
Or even cheese!...
I wish we might have a child!
'Oh, 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 your nails!
Look at your dress!
People would laugh at you-!
Nevertheless-!
I still wish to go to the Festival!
You still wish to go the Festival-!
She still wants to go the Festival-!
-And dance before the Prince?!
All three were beautiful of face, but vile and black of heart!
Jack, on the other hand, had no father, and his mother-!
I wish!...
Well, she was not quite beautiful and she was at her wits end-!
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 walls were full of gold-!
I wish a lot of things!...
'Ugh, you foolish child! What in Heaven's name are you doing with the cow inside the house?!
A warm environment might be just what Milky-White needs to produce his milk!
It's a she! How many times must I tell you? Only "she"s can give milk!
Bakerman's wife-Oh, Why, come in, little girl!
red riding hood-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!...)
evil-step-mom-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!
red-riding-hood-And perhaps a sticky bun?...
Or four?...
Cinder-ella-Birds in the sky!
Birds in the eaves!
In the leaves!
In the fields!
In the castles and ponds!...
red-ridiing-hood-... and a few of those pies!...
Please!...
Cinder-ella-Come, little birds!
Down from the eaves!
And the leaves!
Over fields!
Out of castles and ponds!...
Jack-No, squeeze, pal!...
Cinder-ella-Ahhh!...
Quick, little birds!
Flick through the ashes!
Pick and peck, but swiftly!
Sift through the ashes!
Into the pot!...
(Jack's mom and Jack)-
Jack's mom-Listen well, son. Milky-White must be taken to market!
Jack-But, Mother, no-he's the best cow-!
Was. Was! She's been dry for a week. We've no food, nor money, and no choice, but to sell her while she can still command a price!...
But, Milky-White is my best friend in the whole world!
But, look at her!
(Sung)
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! Honey!
We've no time to sit and dither!
While her withers wither with her-!
[*cough cough*]
And no one keeps a cow for a friend!
Sometimes I fear you're touched and wonder on what's going on, in that little head of yours, too!

Red-riding-hood-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-!
(Muffled)
Into the woods!
To Grandmother's house-!...
Bakerman's wife-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?
Baker-man's wife-Don't stray and be late!
Baker-man-And save some of those sweets for Granny!
Red-riding-hood-Haha...
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 probably sick in bed!
Never can tell!
What lies ahead!
For all that I know-!
Maybe She's already dead!
But into the woods
Into the woods
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house
And home before dark!!...'
Cinder-ella-'Fly away, birds!
Back to the sky!
Back to the eaves!
And the leaves!
And the fields!
And the-!
step-sisters-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!
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hahahaha!
Narrator-Because the Baker had lost his mother and father in a baking accident-well, at least that's what he believed-he was eager to have a family of his own, and was concerned that all efforts until now had failed!...'
