| Witch (to Jack, Little Red Ridinghood, Baker, Cinderella) Shhhhhhhhhhh! (to the Baker's Baby, whom she has taken) It's the last midnight. It's the last wish. It's the last midnight, Soon it will be Boom - Squish! (to the others) Told a little lie, Stole a little gold, Broke a little vow, Did you? Had to get your Prince, Had to get your cow, Had 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 you can do... Not exactly true: you can always give her the boy... Cinderella No! (They protect Jack as the Witch reaches for him.) Witch No? No, of course what matters Is the blame. Someone you can 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. Little Red Ridinghood No! Witch No.... (to the baby) You're so pure. But stay here, And in time You'll mature. And grow up To be them, So let's fly You and I, Far away. Baker (trying to get the Baby) Please! Witch I'm the hitch. I'm what no one believes, I'm the Witch. They're all liars and thieves, Like your father, Just like you will be, too- Oh, why bother? They'll just do what they do. It's the last midnight So, goodbye all. (She kisses the Baby and returns him to the Baker) Coming at you fast, midnight - Soon you'll see the sky fall. Jack! You want a bean? (She starts to scatter beans) Have another bean. Beans where made for making you rich! Plant them and they'll 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. (She begins putting the beans in her mouth) Now before it's past midnight, I'm leaving you my last curse: (She swallows more beans) |
| I'm leaving you alone. Squirming in the mess that you've made. Fix it on your own. Time for me to go, I'm afraid! (She begins to reveal her ugly features) Back to what I know. Back to long ago, Safe inside the world that I'm from! Better ugly and spurned With my powers returned - And I fear, Midnight's here. Time to disappear.... Mother here I come! Aghhhhhh! (She vanishes) |
