you have magic beans, my friend
and i will trade this cow for ten
and up the beanstalk, i'll go...creepin'
while my mama is a...sleepin'
there's a castle
when the top's at last obtained
and its plain
within is found...a giant

and there are wonders that he owns
a goose whose eggs are golden stones
and a harp that sweetly sings...and laughs
and these are things that i would love...to have
but you could get stabbed
if you're caught
cause this fellow fights
with all his might
if you should hound...this giant

so, i'll be careful, rest assured
won't make a peep or form a word
even though i won't be...speakin'
he can smell as if you're...reekin'
scent of blood is strong
and he'll know that someone's there
must be prepared
i must confound....this giant

foolish, yes, but i must go
my poor mother has no dough
and that goose will never...cheat you
and that harp will always...greet you
i'll return
as far as i can tell
(what the hell)
and if things go well...i'll triumph

and i must not be afraid
must be careful how its played
cause that harp may sing out..warnin'
when, inside there, i come...stormin'
and if tall-boy comes stompin'
i'll fix it so he slips and falls
his life, forestalled
when smitten on the ground...this giant
