Lyrics

[00:00.486] Very Nice Prince
[00:06.968] He's a very nice Prince.
[00:08.877] And-?
[00:09.997] And-
[00:11.532] It's a very nice ball.
[00:12.676] And-?
[00:13.987] And-
[00:15.340] When I entered they trumpeted.
[00:17.118] And-?
[00:17.866] The Prince-?
[00:18.877] Oh, the Prince...
[00:19.500] Yes, the Prince!
[00:20.085] Well, he's tall.
[00:21.206] Is that all?
[00:22.596] Did you dance?
[00:23.676] Is he charming? They say that he's charming.
[00:26.276] We did nothing but dance.
[00:28.096] Yes-? And-?
[00:30.616] And it made a nice change.
[00:31.796] No, the Prince!
[00:32.731] Oh, the Prince...
[00:33.335] Yes, the Prince.
[00:34.676] He has charm for a Prince, I guess...
[00:37.057] guess?
[00:38.457] I don't meet a wide range.
[00:40.796] Did he bow?
[00:42.096] Was he cold and polite?
[00:43.206] And it's all very strange.
[00:45.506] [
[00:45.757] Did he speak? Did he flirt?
[00:47.606] Could you tell right away he was royalty?
[00:50.199] Is he sensitive,
[00:51.626] Clever,
[00:52.096] Well-mannered,
[00:52.808] Considerate,
[00:53.437] Passionate,
[00:54.308] Charming,
[00:54.966] As kind as he's handsome,
[00:56.235] As wise as he's rich,
[00:57.786] Is he everything you've ever wanted?
[00:59.606] Would I know?
[01:00.869] Well, I know.
[01:01.714] But how can you know what you want
[01:03.476] Till you get what you want
[01:04.796] And you see if you like it?
[01:06.326] Would I know?
[01:07.336] All I know is-
[01:08.116][BAKER'S WIFE]
[01:08.526] I never wish-
[01:09.296] What I want most of all-
[01:11.536] Just within reason.
[01:13.126] Is to know what I want.
[01:16.406] When you know you can't have what you want,
[01:19.246] Where's the profit in wishing?
[01:25.635] He's a very nice Prince...
[01:30.388] What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes.
[01:32.546] Will you look over there, an enormous beanstalk
[01:35.435] growing next to that little cottage.
[01:36.878] I mean slippers as pure as gold.
[01:38.356] I must get home.
[01:39.266] I need you shoes.
[01:40.566] Wait!
[01:47.150] First Midnight
[01:48.710] One midnight gone...
[01:53.132] No know unties itself...
[01:54.834] Sometimes the things you most wish for are not
[01:59.263] to be touched...
[02:00.992] The harder to get, the better to have...
[02:04.992] Never wear mauve at a ball...
[02:06.853] Or pink...
[02:07.342] Or open your mouth...
[02:10.372] The difference between a cow and a bean
[02:12.462] Is a bean can begin an adventure...
[02:14.552] Slotted spoons don't hold much soup...
[02:17.886] The prettier the flower, the farther from the path...
[02:21.432] The closer to the family, the closer to the wine...
[02:23.642] Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
[02:27.562] One midnight gone!...
[02:29.993] The mouth of a wolf's not the end of the world...
[02:32.593] A servant is not just a dog, to a Prince...
[02:34.328] Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor...
[02:39.558] You may know what you need,
[02:40.211] But to get what you want,
[02:41.110] Better see that you keep what you have.
[02:42.491] One midnight gone...
[02:43.691] Sometimes the things you most wish for are not
[02:44.381] to be touched...
[02:44.911] The harder to get,
[02:45.313] The better to have...
[02:45.801] Agreed.
[02:46.221] One midnight gone... one midnight gone...
[02:46.930] Never wear mauve at a ball...
[02:47.401] Or pink...
[02:47.771] Slotted spoons don't hold much soup...
[02:48.101] To get what you want,
[02:48.511] Better keep what you...
[02:48.952] The prettier the flower...
[02:49.381] One midnight gone...
[02:50.451] Into the woods,
[02:51.901] Into the woods,
[02:53.621] Into the woods, then out of the woods
[02:55.505] And home before
[02:56.525] Giants in the Sky
[02:56.784] There are Giants in the sky!
[03:00.775] There are big tall terrible Giants
[03:02.675] in the sky!
[03:08.605] When you're way up high
[03:09.659] And you look below
[03:10.683] At the world you left
[03:11.505] And the things you know,
[03:12.456] Little more than a glance
[03:13.404] Is enough to show
[03:14.346] You just how small you are.
[03:18.054] When you're way up high
[03:18.985] And you're own your own
[03:19.987] In a world like none
[03:20.914] That you've ever known,
[03:21.884] Where the sky is lead
[03:22.823] And the earth is stone,
[03:23.743] You're free, to do
[03:25.305] Whatever pleases you,
[03:27.573] Exploring things you'd never dare
[03:29.053] 'Cause you don't care,
[03:30.244] When suddenly there's
[03:31.195] A big tall terrible Giant at the door,
[03:38.236] A big tall terrible lady Giant
[03:42.263] sweeping the floor.
[03:45.523] And she gives you food
[03:47.206] And she gives you rest
[03:49.041] And she draws you close
[03:50.989] To her Giant breast,
[03:52.984] And you know things now
[03:54.714] that you never knew before,
[03:59.539] Not till the sky.
[04:03.884] Only just when you've made
[04:04.843] A friend and all,
[04:05.693] And you know she's big
[04:06.628] But you don't feel small,
[04:07.523] Someone bigger than her
[04:08.434] Comes along the hall
[04:09.364] To swallow you for lunch.
[04:12.713] And you heart is lead
[04:13.824] And your stomach stone
[04:14.767] And you're really scared
[04:15.634] Being all alone...
[04:18.406] And it's then that you miss
[04:19.375] All the things you've known
[04:20.334] And the world you've left
[04:21.209] And the little you own-
[04:22.129] The fun is done.
[04:23.889] You steal what you can and run.
[04:25.810] And you scramble down
[04:26.690] And you look below,
[04:27.571] And the world you know
[04:28.480] Begins to grow:
[04:29.473] The roof, the house, and your Mother at the door.
[04:36.871] The roof, the house and the world you never thought to explore.
[04:44.148] And you think of all of the things you've seen,
[04:47.820] And you wish that you could live in between,
[04:51.809] And you're back again,
[04:53.480] Only different than before,
[04:58.561] After the sky.
[05:01.809] There are Giants in the sky!
[05:05.970] There are big tall terrible awesome scary wonderful
[05:10.300] Giants in the sky!
