Your Fault / Last Midnight

It's because of you there's a giant in our midst and my wife is dead

But it isn't my fault I was given those beans

You persuaded me to trade away my cow for beans

And without those beans, there'd have been no stalk

To get up to the giant in the first place

Wait a minute, magic beans for a cow so old

That you had to tell a lie to sell it, which you told

Were they worthless beans? Were they oversold?

Oh, and tell us who persuaded you to steal that gold

See, it's your fault (no)

So it's your fault (no)

Yes, it is (it's not)

It's true

Wait a minute, but I only stole the gold to get my cow back from you

So it's your fault (yes)

No, it isn't!

I'd have kept those beans, but our house was cursed

She made us get a cow to get the curse reversed

It's his father's fault that the curse got placed and the place got cursed in the first place

Oh, then it's his fault (so)

It was his fault (no)

Yes, it is, it's his

I guess

Wait a minute, though

I chopped down the beanstalk, right? That's clear

But without any beanstalk, then what's queer is

How did the second giant get down here in the first place?

Second place (yes, how?)

Well, who had the other bean?

The other bean? (The other bean?)

You pocketed the other bean

I didn't! Yes, I did

(So it's your f-) No, it isn't, cause I gave it to my wife!

(So it's her f-) No, it isn't!

Then whose is it?

Wait a minute, she exchanged that bean to obtain your shoe

So the one who knows what happened to the bean is you

You mean that old bean, that your wife, oh, dear

But I never knew, and so I threw, well, don't look here

So it's your fault (but)

See, it's her fault (but)

And it isn't mine at all!

But what?

Well, if you hadn't gone back up again

We were needy

You were greedy, did you need that hen?

But I got it for my mother

So it's her fault then

Yes, and what about the harp in the third place?

The harp, yes

She went and dared me to

I dared you to?

You dared me to

She said that I was scared to. She dared me

No, I didn't (So it's your fault)

Wait a minute

If you hadn't dared him to

And you had left the harp alone

We wouldn't be in trouble in the first place (well, if you hadn't thrown away the bean in the first place)

(It was your fault)

Well, if she hadn't raised them in the first place (yes, if you hadn't raised them in the first place)

Right, it's you who raised them in the first place (you raised the beans in the first place)

It's your fault!

You're responsible! You're the one to blame! It's your fault!

Shhh

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 (no!)

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 thieves 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, midnight

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
