stephen sondheim - i guess this is goodbye - maybe they're magic lyrics

Loading...

[narrator]
and the baker gave jack five beans in exchange for his
cow,
keeping one for himself.

[jack]
i guess this is goodbye, old pal,
you’ve been a perfect friend.
i hate to have to part, old pal,
some day i’ll buy you back.
i’ll see you soon again.
i hope that when i do,
it won’t be on a plate.

[baker]
magic beans!

[baker’s wife]
no one would have given him more
for this creature.

[baker]
are we to dispel this curse through deceit?

[baker’s wife]
if you know
what you want,
then you go
and you find it
and you get it-

[baker]
home.

[baker’s wife]
do we want a child or not?

and you give
and you take
and you bid
and you bargain
or youl ive
to regret it.

[baker]
will you please go home?

[baker’s wife]
there are rights and wrongs
and in-betweens-
no one waits
when fortune intervenes.
amd maybe they’re really magic,
who knows?

why you do
what you do,
that’s the point:
all the rest of it
is chatter.

[baker]
look at her. she’s crying.

[baker’s wife]
if the thing you do
is pure in intent,
if it’s meant,
and it’s just a little bent,
does it matter?

[baker]
yes.

[baker’s wife]
no, what matters is that
everyone tells tiny lies.
what’s important, really is, the size.

only three more tries and we’ll have our prize.
when the end’s in sight,
you’ll realize:
if the end is right,
it justifies
the beans!
