Act ii prologue: so happy

[Cinderella & (narrator)]
(Once upon a time, later)
I wish
(In that same far-off kingdom)
More than anything
(Lived a young princess)
More than life
(The lad jack)
More than footmen
(And the baker with his family)

[Jack]
I wish
No, I miss

[Cinderella and baker]
I wish

[Jack]
More then anything

[Cinderella, jack & baker]
More than the moon

[Baker's wife]
There, there

[Cinderella]
I wish to sponsor a festival

[Baker]
More then life

[Jack]
I miss

[Cinderella]
The time has come for a festival

[Baker's wife]
Shh

[Baker]
More than riches

[Cinderella]
And a ball

[Jack]
I miss my kingdom up in the sky

[Cinderella and baker]
More than anything

[Baker's wife]
I wish we had more room

[Baker]
Another room

[Narrator]
But despite some minor inconveniences
They were all quite content

[Cinderella]
I never thought I'd wed a prince

[Cinderella's prince]
I never thought I'd find perfection

[Both]
I never thought I would be so happy!

[Cinderella]
Not an unhappy moment since

[Jack and mother]
I didn't think we'd be this rich

[Cinderella's prince]
Not a conceivable objection

[Baker and wife]
I never thought we'd have a baby

[Cinderella, prince, jack & mother]
I didn't know I could be so happy!

[Baker and wife]
I'm so happy!

[Stepmother]
Happy now
Happy hence
Happy ever after

[Florinda, lucinda & stepmother]
We're so happy you're so happy!
Just as long as you stay happy
We'll stay happy!

[Cinderella and prince]
Not one row

[Jack's mother]
Pots of pence

[Jack]
With my cow

[Baker and wife]
Little gurgles

[Cinderella's prince]
Darling, I must go now

[Jack's mother]
We should really sell it

[Baker]
Where's he cheesecloth?

[All]
Wishes may bring problems
Such that you regret them
Better that, though
Than to never get them

[Cinderella]
I'm going to be a perfect wife!

[Jack]
I'm going to be a perfect son!

[Baker's wife and jack's mother]
I'm going to be a perfect mother!

[Baker]
I'm going to be a perfect father!
I'm so happy!

[Cinderella, jack, mother & baker's wife]
I'm going to see that he/she
Is so happy!

[All]
I never though I'd love my life!
I would have settled for another!

[Cinderella]
Then to become a wife

[Jack and mother]
Then to be ste for life

[Baker and wife]
Then to beget a child

[All]
That fortune smiled
I'm so hap-!

[Baker]
Have you done this to our house?

[Witch]
Always thinking of yourself!
Look at my garden

[Baker]
Destroyed!

[Baker's wife]
Who could do such a thing?

[Baker]
Do you think it was a bear?

[Witch]
A bear? Bears are sweet
Besides, you ever see a bear with forty-foot feet?

[Baker's wife]
Dragon?

[Witch]
No scorch marks
Usually they're linked

[Baker]
Manticore?

[Witch]
Imaginary

[Baker and wife]
Griffin?

[Witch]
Extinct

[Baker]
Giant?

[Witch]
Possible
Very, very, possible

[Narrator]
More than possible, their fears would
Prove to be well founded

[Baker]
Into the woods
It's always when
You think at last
You're through, and then
Into the woods you go again
To take another journey

[Baker's wife]
Into the woods
The weather's clear
We've been before
We've naught to fear
Into the woods, away from here

[Jack]
Into the woods to find a giant!

[Little red riding hood]
Into the woods to grandmother's house

[Baker]
Into the woods
The path is straight
No reason then
To hesitate

[Baker's wife]
Into the woods
It's not to late
It's just another journey

[Cinderella]
Into the woods
But not too long
The skies are strange
The winds are strong
Into the woods to see what's wrong

[Jack]
Into the woods
To slay the giant!

[Baker's wife]
Into the woods-
To shield the child

[Little red riding hood]
To flee the winds

[Baker]
To find a future

[Baker's wife]
To shield

[Jack]
To slay

[Little red riding hood]
To flee

[Baker]
To find

[Cinderella]
To fix

[Baker's wife]
To hide

[Little red riding hood]
To move

[Jack]
To battle

[Cinderella]
To see what the trouble is
