Stephen Sondheim - A Very Nice Prince / First Midnight / Giants in the Sky lyrics

Cinderella He's a very nice Prince. Baker's Wife And? Cinderella And- It's a very nice ball. Baker's Wife And? Cinderella And- When I entered they trumpeted. Baker's Wife And? The Prince? Cinderella Oh, the Prince Baker's Wife Yes, the Prince! Cinderella Well, he's tall. Baker's Wife Is that all? Did you dance? Is he charming? They say that he's charming. Cinderella We did nothing but dance. Baker's Wife Yes? And? Cinderella And it made a nice change. Baker's Wife No, the Prince! Cinderella Oh, the Prince Baker's Wife Yes, the Prince. Cinderella He has charm for a Prince, I guess Baker's Wife Guess? Cinderella I don't meet a wide range. Baker's Wife Did he bow? Was he cold and polite? Cinderella And it's all very strange. Baker's Wife Did he speak? Did he flirt? Could you tell right away he was royalty? Is he sensitive, Clever, Well-mannered, Considerate, Pa**ionate, Charming, As kind as he's handsome, As wise as he's rich, Is he everything you've ever wanted? Cinderella Would I know? Baker's Wife Well, I know. Cinderella But how can you know what you want Till you get what you want And you see if you like it? Baker's Wife Would I know? Cinderella All I know is- Baker's Wife I never wish- Cinderella What I want most of all- Baker's Wife Just within reason. Cinderella Is to know what I want. Baker's Wife When you know you can't have what you want, Where's the profit in wishing? Both He's a very nice Prince Baker's Wife What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes. Cinderella Will you look over there, an enormous beanstalk Growing next to that little cottage. Baker's Wife I mean slippers as pure as gold. Cinderella I must get home. Baker's Wife I need you shoes. Wait! Baker One midnight gone MYSTERIOUS MAN No know unties itself Witch Sometimes the things you most wish for are not To be touched PRINCES The harder to get, the better to have FLORINDA Never wear mauve at a ball LUCINDA Or pink STEPMOTHER Or open your mouth Jack The difference between a cow and a bean Is a bean can begin an adventure Jack's Mother Slotted spoons don't hold much soup Little Red Riding Hood The prettier the flower, the farther from the path Cinderella's Father The closer to the family, the closer to the wine Rapunzel Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Witch One midnight gone! GRANNY The mouth of a wolf's not the end of the world STEWARD A servant is not just a dog, to a Prince Cinderella Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor Baker's Wife You may know what you need, But to get what you want, Better see that you keep what you have. Baker One midnight gone Witch Sometimes the things you most wish for are not To be touched PRINCES The harder to get, The better to have Agreed. Baker One midnight gone one midnight gone FLORINDA Never wear mauve at a ball LUCINDA Or pink Jack's Mother Slotted spoons don't hold much soup Baker's Wife To get what you want, Better keep what you Little Red Riding Hood The prettier the flower All One midnight gone Into the woods, Into the woods, Into the woods, then out of the woods And home before- Jack There are Giants in the sky! There are big tall terrible Giants In the sky! When you're way up high And you look below At the world you left And the things you know, Little more than a glance Is enough to show You just how small you are. When you're way up high And you're own your own In a world like none That you've ever known, Where the sky is lead And the earth is stone, You're free, to do Whatever pleases you, Exploring things you'd never dare 'Cause you don't care, When suddenly there's A big tall terrible Giant at the door, A big tall terrible lady Giant Sweeping the floor. And she gives you food And she gives you rest And she draws you close To her Giant breast, And you know things now That you never knew before, Not till the sky. Only just when you've made A friend and all, And you know she's big But you don't feel small, Someone bigger than her Comes along the hall To swallow you for lunch. And you heart is lead And your stomach stone And you're really scared Being all alone And it's then that you miss All the things you've known And the world you've left And the little you own- The fun is done. You steal what you can and run. And you scramble down And you look below, And the world you know Begins to grow: The roof, the house, and your Mother at the door. The roof, the house and the world you never thought to explore. And you think of all of the things you've seen, And you wish that you could live in between, And you're back again, Only different than before, After the sky. There are Giants in the sky! There are big tall terrible awesome scary wonderful Giants in the sky!
