[00:00.149] (Once upon a time later)
[00:03.531] I wish
[00:05.096] (In that same far-off kingdom)
[00:06.742] More than anything
[00:08.114] (Lived a young princess)
[00:09.162] More than life
[00:09.877] (The lad Jack)
[00:10.272] More than footmen
[00:11.102] I wish
[00:11.782] (And the Baker with his family)
[00:12.863] Waah
[00:13.722] No, I miss
[00:14.572] I wish
[00:15.124] Waah
[00:15.654] More than anything
[00:16.646] More than the moon
[00:17.845] There, there
[00:18.532] I wish to sponsor a Festival
[00:20.191] Waah
[00:21.042] More than life
[00:21.751] I miss
[00:22.281] The time has come for a Festival
[00:23.642] Waah
[00:24.101] Shh
[00:24.320] More than riches
[00:24.870] And a ball
[00:25.486] I miss my kingdom up in the sky
[00:26.802] More than anything
[00:28.320] I wish we had more room
[00:30.896] Another room
[00:35.946] But despite some minor inconveniences
[00:39.347] They were all quite content
[00:42.963] I never thought I'd wed a Prince
[00:45.993] I never thought I'd find perfection
[00:49.034] I never thought I would be so happy
[00:54.126] Not an unhappy moment since
[00:55.847] I didn't think we'd be this rich
[00:57.243] Not a conceivable objection
[00:59.203] I never thought we'd have a baby
[01:00.682] I didn't know I could be so happy
[01:03.613] I'm so happy
[01:05.802] Happy now
[01:07.603] Happy hence
[01:08.963] Happy ever after
[01:10.923] We're so happy, you're so happy
[01:13.613] Just as long as you stay happy
[01:16.552] We'll stay happy
[01:17.803] Not one row
[01:18.803] Pots of pence
[01:20.885] With my cow
[01:22.113] Little gurgles
[01:23.125] Darling, I must go now
[01:24.596] We should really sell it
[01:26.063] Where's he cheesecloth?
[01:27.443] Wishes may bring problems
[01:28.753] Such that you regret them
[01:30.106] Better that, though
[01:31.326] Than to never get them
[01:32.794] I'm going to be a perfect wife
[01:35.353] I'm going to be a perfect son
[01:36.913] I'm going to be a perfect mother
[01:38.723] I'm going to be a perfect father
[01:39.997] I'm so happy
[01:40.348] I'm going to see that he/she
[01:41.766] Is so happy
[01:44.598] I never thought I'd love my life
[01:48.917] I would have settled for another
[01:52.177] Then to become a wife
[01:53.567] Then to be step for life
[01:54.957] Then to beget a child
[01:56.766] That fortune smiled
[01:58.327] I'm so hap
[02:01.629] A loud rumbling noise
[02:03.208] Is followed by an enormous crash
[02:05.129] The Baler's house caves in
[02:06.055] He is caught underneath the rubble
[02:07.676] As his wife runs forward with their baby
[02:08.042] The witch enters
[02:08.742] Have you done this to our house?
[02:11.972] Always thinking of yourself, look at my garden
[02:16.412] Destroyed
[02:17.961] Who could do such a thing?
[02:21.193] Do you think it was a bear?
[02:22.471] A bear? Bears are sweet
[02:24.232] Besides you ever see a bear
[02:25.792] With forty-foot feet?
[02:26.853] Dragon? No scorch marks
[02:28.404] Usually they're linked
[02:29.551] Manticore? Imaginary
[02:30.852] Griffin? Extinct
[02:31.972] Giant? Possible
[02:34.612] Very, very, possible
[02:39.612] More than possible, their fears would
[02:42.655] Prove to be well founded
[02:48.922] Into the woods, it's always when
[02:50.696] You think at last you're through
[02:52.582] And then into the woods you go again
[02:54.477] To take another journey
[02:56.345] Into the woods
[02:57.246] The weather's clear
[02:58.126] We've been before
[02:59.065] We've naught to fear
[03:00.019] Into the woods, away from here
[03:01.948] Into the woods to find a giant
[03:03.837] Into the woods to grandmother's house
[03:07.376] Into the woods, the path is straight
[03:09.195] No reason than to hesitate
[03:11.117] Into the woods, it's not too late
[03:12.888] It's just another journey
[03:14.881] Into the woods but not too long
[03:16.651] The skies are strange
[03:17.592] The winds are strong
[03:18.761] Into the woods to see what's wrong
[03:22.260] Into the woods to slay the giant
[03:26.002] Into the woods to shield the child
[03:28.188] To flee the winds,to find a future
[03:31.772] To shield, to slay, to flee, to find
[03:35.250] To fix, to hide, to move, to battle
[03:41.152] To see what the trouble is
