Last Midnight Songtext
von Meryl Streep

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 gold
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.

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, midnight-
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!
