[G] Who might that be?
We've sold our last loaf of [D] bread.
[Eb] It's the witch from next door.
[A]
[Gb] We have no bread.
[Ebm] I don't want your bread.
Then what is it you wish?
It's not what I wish, it's what you wish.
Nothing cooking in that belly now, is there?
[G] And there will never be.
Unless
[C] you do exactly as I say.
In three days [Bb] time,
a blue moon will appear.
[C] Only then can the curse be
undone.
What curse?
The one I placed on this house.
What are you talking [Ebm] about?
In [D] the past,
[Ebm] when [Bb] you were no more than a babe,
your father brought his young wife
and you to this cottage.
They were a lovely couple,
but not lovely neighbours.
You see,
your mother was with child,
and she developed
an unusual [Bm] appetite.
She [Ebm] admired my beautiful garden,
[C] and she told your father
that what she [Bb] wanted
more than anything
in the world
was [C] greens, greens,
nothing but greens.
[Ebm] Parsley, [Gb] peppers,
cabbages and celery, asparagus
and [Bb] watercress and fiddle thorns and lettuce.
He [Ab] said, all right, but it wasn't quite
[D] because I caught him in the autumn
in my garden one night.
He was robbing me, raping me,
roosting through my [Bb] rutabaga,
raiding my arugula and ripping up
the rampion, my champion, my favourite.
I should have laid a spell on him right there.
[Ab] I could have turned him into stone
[F] or a dog
or a chair.
[A] But I let him have the rampion.
I had lots to spare.
[Eb] In return, however,
I said, fair is fair.
[Bbm] You can let me have
the baby [Gbm] that your wife will bear
and call it square.
I had a brother?
[Bb]
No, but you had a sister.
Where is she?
She's mine now
and you'll never find her.
Small price to pay for what else
your father stole from me.
[Gm] It cost me my youth, my [Gb] beauty.
My mother warned me
she would punish me
with the curse of ugliness if I ever
lost any of the
Lost what?
The beans.
The beans.
The special beans.
[G] I let him go.
I didn't [Ab] know he'd stolen
my beans.
I was watching him
crawl back over the wall [Ebm] when
bang!
[D] Crash!
A lightning flash!
[Dm]
[Ebm] Oh, that's another story.
Never mind.
Anyway, [Dbm] at last
the big day came.
I made my [Ab] claim.
Oh, don't take away the baby!
They shrieked and squeaked, but I did
and I hid her where she'll never be reached.
[B] Your father cried and your mother
[Ab] died when for extra measure
I admit it was a [D] pleasure, I said, sorry.
I'm still not mollified
[B] and I laid a little [Db] spell on them.
You too, son.
That your family tree
would always be
a barren one.
[C] How [Ab] could you do that?
And when your mother died,
your father deserted you.
Your father was no father.
So why should you be?
[F] Now there's no more fuss
and there's no [Gb] more scenes in my garden
thrive.
You should see my [Bb] nectarines.
But I'm telling you the same I tell kings and [Db] queens.
Don't ever, never, [Db] ever mess around
with my [Eb] greens.
We've sold our last loaf of [D] bread.
