Your Fault Songtext
von Brian d’Arcy James, Cole Thompson, Patina Miller, Phillipa Soo & Julia Lester

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 Giants 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, though
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?

Hm

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 (me?)
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 (well, if you hadn't)
In the first place (thrown away the bean in the first place)

Well, if she hadn't raise them (it was your fault)
In the first place (yes, if you hadn′t raised them)

Right, it′s you who 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
