Stephen Sondheim Last Midnight Lyrics

[Witch]
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

It's the last midnight
It's the last wish
It's the last midnight
Soon it will be boom-
Squish!
Told a little lie
Stole a little gold
Broke a little vow
Did you?

Had to get your Prince
Had to get your cow
Have 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 we can do
Not exactly true:
We can always give her the boy...

No?
No, of course what really matters
Is the blame
Somebody to 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

[The Others]
No!

[Witch]
No?

You're so nice
You're not good
You're not bad
You're just nice
I'm not good
I'm not nice
I'm just right
I'm the Witch
You're the world

I'm the hitch I'm what no one believes
I'm the Witch
You're all liars and theives
Like his father
Like his son will be, too-
Oh, why bother?
You'll just do what you do

It's the last midnight
So, goodbye all
Coming at you fast, midight-
Soon you'll see the sky fall

Here, you want a bean?

Have another bean
Beans were made for making you rich!
Plant them and they 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
Now, before it's past midnight
I'm leaving you my last curse:

I'm leaving you alone
You can tend the garden, it's yours
Separate and alone
Everybody down on all fours

All right, mother, when?
Lost the beans again!
Punish me the way you did then!
Give me claws and a hunch
Just away from this bunch
And the gloom
And the doom
And the boom
Cruuunch!
