It's because of you there's a giant in our midst and my wife is dead
But it isn't my fault I was given those beans
You persuaded me to trade away my cow for beans
And without those beans, there'd have been no stalk
To get up to the giant in the first place
Wait a minute, magic beans for a cow so old
That you had to tell a lie to sell it, which you told
Were they worthless beans? Were they oversold?
Oh, and tell us who persuaded you to steal that gold
See, it's your fault (no)
So it's your fault (no)
Yes, it is (it's not)
It's true
Wait a minute, but I only stole the gold to get my cow back from you
So it's your fault (yes)
No, it isn't!
I'd have kept those beans, but our house was cursed
She made us get a cow to get the curse reversed
It's his father's fault that the curse got placed and the place got cursed in the first place
Oh, then it's his fault (so)
It was his fault (no)
Yes, it is, it's his
I guess
Wait a minute, though
I chopped down the beanstalk, right? That's clear
But without any beanstalk, then what's queer is
How did the second giant get down here in the first place?
Second place (yes, how?)
Well, who had the other bean?
The other bean? (The other bean?)
You pocketed the other bean
I didn't! Yes, I did
(So it's your f-) No, it isn't, cause I gave it to my wife!
(So it's her f-) No, it isn't!
Then whose is it?
Wait a minute, she exchanged that bean to obtain your shoe
So the one who knows what happened to the bean is you
You mean that old bean, that your wife, oh, dear
But I never knew, and so I threw, well, don't look here
So it's your fault (but)
See, it's her fault (but)
And it isn't mine at all!
But what?
Well, if you hadn't gone back up again
We were needy
You were greedy, did you need that hen?
But I got it for my mother
So it's her fault then
Yes, and what about the harp in the third place?
The harp, yes
She went and dared me to
I dared you to?
You dared me to
She said that I was scared to. She dared me
No, I didn't (So it's your fault)
Wait a minute
If you hadn't dared him to
And you had left the harp alone
We wouldn't be in trouble in the first place (well, if you hadn't thrown away the bean in the first place)
(It was your fault)
Well, if she hadn't raised them in the first place (yes, if you hadn't raised them in the first place)
Right, it's you who raised them in the first place (you raised the beans in the first place)
It's your fault!
You're responsible! You're the one to blame! It's your fault!
Shhh
It's the last midnight
It's the last wish
It's the last midnight
Soon it will be boom, squish
Told a little lie, stole a little gold
Broke a little vow, did you?
Had to get your prince, had to get your cow
Have to get your wish, doesn't matter how
Anyway, it doesn't matter now
It's the last midnight
It's the boom, splat
Nothing but a vast midnight
Everybody smashed flat
Nothing we can do, not exactly true
We can always give her the boy
No? No, of course, what really matters is the blame
Somebody to blame
Fine, if that's the thing you enjoy, placing the blame
If that's the aim, give me the blame
Just give me the boy (no!)
No
You're so nice
You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice
I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right
I'm the witch, you're the world
I'm the hitch, I'm what no one believes, I'm the witch
You're all liars and thieves like his father
Like his son will be too, oh, why bother?
You'll just do what you do
It's the last midnight
So goodbye, all
Coming at you fast, midnight
Soon you'll see the sky fall
Here, you want a bean?
Have another bean
Beans were made for making you rich
Plant them and they soar
Here, you want some more?
Listen to the roar, giants by the score
Oh well, you can blame another witch
It's the last midnight
It's the last verse
Now, before it's past midnight
I'm leaving you my last curse
I'm leaving you alone
You can tend the garden, it's yours
Separate and alone
Everybody down on all fours
All right, mother, when?
Lost the beans again
Punish me the way you did then
Give me claws and a hunch
Just away from this bunch
And the gloom, and the doom, and the boom
