Giants in the Sky (1987 Demo Version) Original Broadway Cast of Into the Woods (Ft. John Cameron Mitchell)

[JACK, spoken]
Good fortune! Good fortune!
(sung)
Good fortune, sir. Hello, I'm back
Remember me? My name is Jack
And when you see what's in my sack
You'll more than be repaid!
How right you were when you persuaded
Me to trade, though I'm afraid
My mother, sir, when I displayed
The beans to her was quite dismayed
For with a shout, she threw them out
And said I'd made, without a doubt
The dumbest trade she'd heard about
But no, sir, you were right
For, in the night, I woke to find
The bean was sprouted intertwined
And all combined to form a stout
And stately kind of beanstalk

Up, and up, and up it grew
Up past the trees
And up, and through the clouds
And up, and up, into the sky
And up it climbed, and so did I
And up, and up, and up so high
I thought I'd drop!
I'd fall and die!
A violent death!
I had to stop!
And catch my breath!
But then I reached the top!!!
