Into The Woods-a Very Smart Prince Lyrics

CINDERELLA

He's a very nice Prince.



BAKER'S WIFE

And-?



CINDERELLA

And-

It's a very nice ball.



BAKER'S WIFE

And-?



CINDERELLA

And-

When I entered they trumpeted.



BAKER'S WIFE

And-?

The Prince-?



CINDERELLA

Oh, the Prince...



BAKER'S WIFE

Yes, the Prince!



CINDERELLA

Well, he's tall.



BAKER'S WIFE

Is that all?

Did you dance?

Is he charming? They say that he's charming.



CINDERELLA

We did nothing but dance.



BAKER'S WIFE

Yes-? And-?



CINDERELLA

And it made a nice change.



BAKER'S WIFE

No, the Prince!



CINDERELLA

Oh, the Prince...



BAKER'S WIFE

Yes, the Prince.



CINDERELLA

He has charm for a Prince, I guess...



BAKER'S WIFE

guess?



CINDERELLA

I don't meet a wide range.



BAKER'S WIFE

Did he bow?

Was he cold and polite?



CINDERELLA

And it's all very strange.



BAKER'S WIFE

Did he speak? Did he flirt?

Could you tell right away he was royalty?

Is he sensitive,

Clever,

Well-mannered,

Considerate,

Passionate,

Charming,

As kind as he's handsome,

As wise as he's rich,

Is he everything you've ever wanted?



CINDERELLA

Would I know?



BAKER'S WIFE

Well, I know.



CINDERELLA

But how can you know what you want

Till you get what you want

And you see if you like it?



BAKER'S WIFE

Would I know?



CINDERELLA

All I know is-



BAKER'S WIFE

I never wish-



CINDERELLA

What I want most of all-



BAKER'S WIFE

Just within reason.



CINDERELLA

Is to know what I want.



BAKER'S WIFE

When you know you can't have what you want,

Where's the profit in wishing?



BOTH

He's a very nice Prince...



BAKER'S WIFE

What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes.



CINDERELLA

Will you look over there, an enormous beanstalk

growing next to that little cottage.



BAKER'S WIFE

I mean slippers as pure as gold.



CINDERELLA

I must get home.



BAKER'S WIFE

I need you shoes.



Wait!
