NARRATOR, spoken: And the Baker gave Jack five beans in exchange for his cow, keeping one for himself
JACK: I guess this is goodbye, old pal
You've been a perfect friend
I hate to see us part, old pal
Someday I'll buy you back
I'll see you soon again
I hope that when I do
It won't be on a plate
BAKER: Magic beans?
WIFE: No one would have given him more for this creature
BAKER: Are we to dispell this curse through deceit?
WIFE: If you know what you want
Then you go and you find it
And you get it--
BAKER (pointing off): Home
WIFE, spoken: Do we want a child, or not?
(sung)--And you give and you take
And you bid and you bargain
Or you live to regret it
BAKER, spoken: Will you please go home?
WIFE: There are rights and wrongs and in-betweens
No one waits when fortune intervenes
And maybe they're really magic
Who knows?
Why, you do what you do
That's the point
All the rest of it is chatter
BAKER, spoken (about Milky-White): Look at her, she's crying
WIFE: If the thing you do is pure in intent
If it's meant, and it's just a little bent
Does it matter?
BAKER, spoken: Yes
WIFE: No, what matters is that everyone tells tiny lies
What's important, really, is the size
Only three more tries, and we'll have our prize
When the end's in sight, you'll realize:
If the end is right, it justifies
The beans!
