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 golde,
Broke a little vow,
Did you?
Had to get your Prince,
Has 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!
Stephen Joshua Sondheim (New York, March 22, 1930 – New York, November 26, 2021) was an American composer, lyricist, and playwright considered one of the most important figures in 20th-century musical theatre. His influence on the development of the modern musical genre is fundamental. Sondheim composed some of the most significant works in the American theatrical landscape of the second half of the 20th century, including *A Little Night Music*, *Sweeney Todd* and *Into the Woods*. He also collaborated as a lyricist with renowned composers like Leonard Bernstein for *West Side Story* and Jule Styne for *Gypsy: A Musical Fable*. Besides musical theatre, Sondheim composed original soundtracks for films such as *Stavisky the Great* (1974), *Reds* (1980) and *Dick Tracy* (1990). For the latter, he wrote the song *Sooner or Later*, which earned him an Oscar for Best Original Song in 1991. Among his most representative songs are *Send in the Clowns* from *A Little Night Music*, *The Ballad of Sweeney Todd* from *Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street* and *Agony* from *Into the Woods*.
