that what she wanted

more than anything in the world...

Was greens, greens

Nothing but greens

Parsley, peppers, cabbages and celery

Asparagus and watercress

And fiddleferns and lettuce

He said, "All right"

But it wasn't, quite

'Cause I caught him

in the autumn In my garden one night

He was robbing me

Raping me

Rooting through my rutabaga

Raiding my arugula

And ripping up the rampion

My champion, my favorite

I should've laid a spell

on him right there.

I could've turned him into stone.

Or a dog.

Or a chair.

But I let him

have the rampion I'd lots to spare

In return, however

I said, "Fair is fair

"You can let me have the baby

That your wife will bear

"And we'll call it square"

I had a brother?

No.

But you had a sister.

Where is she?

She's mine now,

and you'll never find her.

A small price to pay

for what else your father stole from me.

It cost me my youth, my beauty.

My mother warned me

she would punish me with the curse of

ugliness if I ever lost any of them.

Lost what?

The beans

- Beans'?

- The special beans

I let him go

I didn't know he'd stolen my beans

I was watching him crawl

Back over the wall

When bang, crash

A lightning flash

Well, that's another story

Never mind, anyway

At last, the big day came

I made my claim

"Oh, don't take away the baby"

They shrieked and squeaked

But I did, and I hid her

Where she'll never be reached

Your father cried

And your mother died

When for extra measure

I admit, it was a pleasure

I said, "Sorry, I'm still not mollified"

And I laid a little spell on them

You, too, son.

That your family tree would always be

a barren one.

How could you do that?

And when your mother died,

your father deserted you.

Your father was no father,

so why should you be?

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Now there's no more fuss

And there's no more scenes

And my garden thrives

You should see my nectarines

But I'm telling you the same

I tell kings and queens

Don't ever, never, ever

Mess around with my greens

Especially the beans

Yeah, but why

do we have to go to the next village?

Because everyone in this village knows

the cow hasn't given

a drop of milk in weeks.

But that's cheating.

We're starving, Jack!

Don't you understand that?

Now, you're not to

accept less than five pounds for her.

Are you listening to me?

Yes.

How much are you to ask?

No more than five pounds.

- Less than five!

- Than five!

Into the woods, the time is now

We have to live, I don't care how

Into the woods to sell the cow

You must begin the journey

Straight through the woods,

and don't delay

We have to face the marketplace

Into the woods to journey's end

Into the woods to sell a friend
