Into The Woods - "Prologue"
Lyrics to Prologue : [NARRATOR] Once upon a time [CINDERELLA] I wish... [NARRATOR] in a far-off kingdom [CINDERELLA] More than anything... [NARRATOR] lived a fair maiden, [CINDERELLA] More than jewels... [NARRATOR] a sad young lad [JACK] I wish... [NARRATOR] and a childless baker [JACK] More than life... [CINDERELLA & BAKER] I wish... [NARRATOR] with his wife. [JACK] More than anything... [CINDERELLA, BAKER & JACK] More than the moon... [BAKERS WIFE] I wish... [CINDERELLA] The King is giving a Festival. [BAKER & WIFE] More than life... [JACK] I wish... [CINDERELLA] I wish to go to the Festival. [BAKER & WIFE] More than riches... [JACK] I wish my cow would give us some milk. [BAKERS WIFE] More than anything... [CINDERELLA] And the Ball... [JACK] Please, pal- [BAKER] I wish we had a child. [BAKERS WIFE] I want a child... [CINDERELLA] I wish to go to the Festival. [JACK] Squeeze, pal... [JACK] I wish youd give us some milk or even cheese... I wish... [BAKER & WIFE] I wish we might have a child. I wish... [CINDERELLA] I wish... [STEPMOTHER] You wish to go to the Festival' [NARRATOR] The poor girls mother had died, [STEPMOTHER] You, Cinderella, the Festival' You wish to go to the Festival' [FLORINDA] What, you, Cinderella, the Festival' The Festival'! [LUCINDA] What, you wish to go to the Festival' [ALL THREE] The Festival' The Kings Festival' [NARRATOR] And her father had taken for his new wife [STEPMOTHER] The Festival... [NARRATOR] a woman with two daughters of her own. [FLORINDA] Look at you nails! [LUCINDA] Look at your dress! [STEPMOTHER] People would laugh at you- [CINDERELLA] Nevertheless, I still want to go to the Festival And dance before the Prince. [STEPMOTHER & STEPSISTERS] She still wants to go to the Festival And dance before the Prince'! [NARRATOR] All three were beautiful of face, but vile and balck of heart. Jack, on the other hand, had no father, and his mother- [JACKS MOTHER] I wish... [NARRATOR] Well, she was not quite beautiful- [JACKS MOTHER] 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... [BAKERS WIFE] Why, come in, little girl. [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] I wish... Its not for me, Its 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... [NARRATOR] Cinderellas Stepmother had a surprise for her. [STEPMOTHER] 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. [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] And perhaps a sticky bun'... Or four'... [CINDERELLA] Birds in the sky, Birds in the eaves, In the leaves, In the fields, In the castles and ponds... [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] And a few of those pies... please... [CINDERELLA] Come, little birds, Down from the eaves And the leaves, Over fields, Out of castles and ponds... [JACK] No, squeeze, pal... [CINDERELLA] Ahhh... Quick, little birds, Flick through the ashes. Pick and peck, but swiftly, Sift through the ashes, Into the pot... [JACKS MOTHER] Listen well, son. Milky-White must be taken to market. [JACK] But, mother, no- hes the best cow- [JACKS MOTHER] look at her. There are bugs on her dugs. There are flies in her eyes. Theres a lump on her rump Big enough to be a hump- [JACK] But- [JACKS MOTHER] Son, Weve no time to sit and dither, While her withers wither with her- And no one keeps a cow for a friend! Sometimes I fear your touched. [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] Into the woods, Its time to go, I hate to leave, I have to, though. Into the woods- Its time, and so I must begin my journey. Into the woods And through the trees To where I am Expected maam, Into the woods To Grandmothers house- Into the woods To Grandmothers house- [BAKERS WIFE] Youre certain of your way' [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] 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 Whats 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, Shes already dead. But into the woods, Into the woods, Into the woods To Grandmothers house And home before dark. [CINDERELLA] Fly, birds, Back to the sky, Back to the eaves And the leaves And the fields And the- [FLORINDA] Hurry up and do my hair, Cinderella! Are you really wearing that' [LUCINDA] Here, I found a little tear, Cinderella. Cant you hide it with a hat' [CINDERELLA] You look beautiful. [FLORINDA] I know. [LUCINDA] She means me. [FLORINDA] Put it in a twist. [LUCINDA] Who will be there'... [CINDERELLA] Mother said be good, Father siad be nice, That was always their advice. So be nice, Cinderella, Good, Cinderella, Nice good good nice- [FLORINDA] Tighter! [CINDERELLA] Whats the good of being good If everyone is blind And youre always left behind' Never mind, Cinderella, Kind Cinderella- Nice good nice kind good nice- [FLORINDA] Not that tight! [CINDERELLA] Sorry. [FLORINDA] Clod. [BAKERS WIFE] Who minght that be' [BAKER] Its the witch from next door. [NARRATOR] The old enchantress told the couple she had placed a spell on their house. [BAKER] What spell' [WITCH] 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 wasnt, 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- Id lots to spare. In return, however, I said, "Fair is fair: You can let me have the baby That your wife will bear. And well call it square." [BAKER] I had a brother' [WITCH] No. But you had a sisiter. [NARRATOR] But the witch refused to tell him anymore of his sister. Not even that her name was Rapunzel. [WITCH] I though I had been more than reasonable. But how was I to know what your father had also hidden in his pocket'! [BAKER] What' [WITCH] Beans. [BAKER & WIFE] Beans' [WITCH] The special beans. I let him go, I didnt know Hed stolen my beans! I was watching him crawl, Back over the wall-! Then bang! Crash! And the lightning flash! And- well, thats another story, Never mind- Anyway, at last The big day came, And I made my claim. "Oh, dont take away the baby," They shrieked and screeched, But I did, And I hid her Where shell never be reached. And your father cried, And your mother died When for extra measure- I admit it was a pleasure- I said, "Sorry, Im still not mollified." And I laid little spell on them- You, too, son- That your family tree Would always be a barren one... So theres no more fuss And theres no more scenes And my garden thrives- You should see my nectarines! But Im tellling you the same I tell kings and queens: Dont ever never ever Mess around with my greens! Especially the beans. [JACKS MOTHER] 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 floors gone slack, Your mothers getting older, Your fathers not back, And you cant 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 dont care how. Into the woods To sell the cow, You must begin the journey. Straight to the woods and dont delay- You have to face The marketplace. Into the woods to journeys end- [JACK] Into the woods to sell a friend- [NARRATOR] Meanwhile, the Witch, for purposes of her own, explained how the Baker might lift the spell; [WITCH] You wish to have The curse reversed' Ill 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 days time, And you shall have, I guarantee, A child as perfect As child can be. Go to the wood! [STEPMOTHER] Ladies. Our carriage waits. [CINDERELLA] Now may I go to the Festival' [STEPMPTHER] The Festival-! Darling, those nails! Darling, those clothes! Lentils are one thing but Darling, with those, Youd make us the fools of the Festival And mortify the Prince! [CINDERELLAS FATHER] Our carriage is waiting. [STEPMOTHER] We must be gone. [CINDERELLA] Good night, Father. I wish... [BAKER] Look what I found in fathers hunting jacket. [BAKERS WIFE] Six beans. Well take them with us. [BAKER] No! The spell is on my house. Only I can lift the spell, The spell is on my house. [BAKERS WIFE] No, no, the spell is on our house. We must lift the spel. [BAKER] No. You are not to come and that is final. Now what am I to return with' [BAKERS WIFE] You dont 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- [BAKER] The cow as white as milk, The cape as red as blood, The hair as yellow as corn, The slipper as pure as gold... [NARRATOR] And so the Baker, reluctantly, set off to meet the enchantress demands. As for Cinderella: [CINDERELLA] I still wish to go to the Festival, But how am I ever to get to the Festival' [BAKER] The cow as white as milk, The cape as red as blood, The hair as yellow as corn- [CINDERELLA] I know! Ill visit Mothers grave, The grave at the hazel tree, And tell her I just want to Go to the Kings Festival... [BAKER] The slipper as pure as gold... The cow, the cape, The slipper as pure as gold- [BAKERS WIFE] The hair-! [CINDERELLA & BAKER] Into the woods, Its time to go, It may be all In vain, you/I know. Into the woods- But even so, I have to take the journey. [CINDERELLA, BAKER & WIFE] Into the woods, The path is straight, You know it well, But who can tell- [BAKER & WIFE] Into the woods to lift the spell- [CINDERELLA] Into the woods to visit Mother- [BAKERS WIFE] Into the woods to fetch the things- [BAKER] To make the potion- [CINDERELLA] To got to the Festival- [CINDERELLA, JACK, JACKS MOTHER, BAKER, WIFE] Into the woods Without regret, The choice is made, The task is set. Into the woods, But not forget- Ting why Im on the journey. (Little Red Riding hood Joins) Into the woods to get my wish, I dont care how, The time is now. [JACKS MOTHER] Into the woods to sell the cow- [JACK] Into the woods to get the money- [BAKERS WIFE] Into the woods to lift the spell- [BAKER] To make the potion- [CINDERELLA] To go to the Festival- [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] Into the woods to Grandmothers house... Into the woods to Grandmothers house... [ALL] 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- [CINDERELLA & BAKER] Theres something in the glade there... [ALL] 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- [STEMOTHER & STEPSISTERS] To see the King- [JACK & MOTHER] To sell the cow- [BAKER & WIFE] To make the potion- [ALL] To see- To sell- To get- To bring- To make- To lift- To go to the Festival-! Into the woods! Into the woods! Into the woods, Then out of the woods, And home before dark! [ Prologue Lyrics ]
