I Guess This Is Goodbye / Maybe Theyre Magic
Chip Zien
[NARRATOR, spoken]
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 see us part, old pal
Someday 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?

[WIFE]
No one would have given him more for this creature

[BAKER]
Are we to dispell this curse through deceit?
[WIFE]
If you know what you want
Then you go and you find it
And you get it--

[BAKER (pointing off)]
Home

[WIFE, spoken]
Do we want a child, or not?
(sung)
--And you give and you take
And you bid and you bargain
Or you live to regret it

[BAKER, spoken]
Will you please go home?

[WIFE]
There are rights and wrongs and in-betweens
No one waits when fortune intervenes
And 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, spoken (about Milky-White)]
Look at her, she's crying

[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, spoken]
Yes

[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!
