Who might that be?
We have sold our last loaf of bread.
It's the witch from next door!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But we have no bread!
Of course you have no bread!
What do you wish?
It's not what I wish!
It's what you wish!

cooking [Bb] in there now, is there?
The old intentress went on to tell the couple that she'd placed a spell on their house.
What [Ebm] spell?
In the [Bbm] past, when you were no more than [Ebm] a babe,
your father brought his young wife and you to this cottage.
They were a handsome couple, but not [B] handsome neighbors.
You see, your mother was with child, and she had developed [Bb] an unusual [F] appetite.
She took one look at my beautiful garden and told your father what she wanted.
More than anything in the world was greens, [Ebm] greens, and nothing but greens.
[Eb] Parsley, peppers, cabbages, and celery, asparagus, [Ab] and watercress, and fiddlebirds, and lettuce.
He said, all right.
But it wasn't quite, because I caught [Bb] him in the autumn in my garden one [Eb] night.
He was robbing me, raping me, rooting through my [C] rutabaga, raining my_ _ _
[A] I should have laid a spell on him.
[Cm] Could have turned him into stone, [Eb] or a dog, or a chair, or a_
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _
[Ab] _ But [Bb] I let him have the rampion.
I'd let you spare.
[Gb] Return, however, I said, [Bbm] fair is fair.
You can let me have [Gbm] the baby that your wife will [Eb] bear.
And we'll call it square.
I had a [Ab] brother.
No!
_ _ _ But you had a sister.
_ [Gb] But the witch refused to tell him any more of his sister.
Not even that her name was Rapunzel.
She went on.
I thought I had been more than reasonable, and that we all might [Ab] live happily. _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] But how was I to know what your father had also hidden in his pocket?
You see, when I had inherited that garden, my mother had warned me that I would be punished
if I were ever to lose any of [Dbm] the beans.
Beans?
My special beans.
[C] I let him go.
I didn't know he stole my beans.
I was watching [Bb] him crawl back over the wall [Gb] when very fast, [Ab] the lightning flashed.
Oh, that's another story.
Never mind.
Anyway, unless the big day came, I made my claim.
Don't take [Ab] her with the baby, they shrieked and screeched.
But I did, and I hid her where she'll never be reached.
Your father could _ measure.
I admit it was [Bb] a pleasure.
I said, sorry, I'm still not [B] mollified.
And I laid a little [Db] spell on them.
You too, son.
_ [N] _ _
_ [Bb] _ Your family tree would always be a barren one.
No!
I [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ didn't try, you should see my nectarines.
But I'm telling you the same I tell kings [Bb] and queens.
Don't ever, ever, ever mess around with my greens.
[Db] Especially [Eb] the beans.
