Into The Woods Agony Ii Reprise lyrics

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
High in a tower-
Like yours was, but higher-
A beauty asleep.
All round the tower
A thicket of briar
A hundred feet deep.

Agony!
No frustration mor keen,
When the one thing you want
Is a thing that you`ve not even seen.

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
I found a casket
Entirely of glass-
No, it`s unbreakable.
Inside- don`t ask it-
A maiden, alas,
Just as unwakable-

BOTH
What unmistakable agony!
Is the way always barred?

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
She has skin white as snow-

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
Did you learn her name?

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
No,
There`s a dwarf standing guard.

BOTH
Agony!
Such that Princes must weep!
Always in thrall most
To anything almost,
Or something asleep.

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
If it were not for the thicket-

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
A thicket`s no trick.
Is it thick?

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
It`s the thickest.

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
The quickest
Is pick it
Apart with a stick-

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
yes, but even one prick-
It`s my thing about blood.

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
Well, it`s sick!

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
It`s no sicker
Than you thing with dwarves.

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
Dwarfs.

CINDERELLA`S PRINCE
Dwarfs...

RAPUNZEL`S PRINCE
Dwarfs are every upsetting.

BOTH
Not forgetting
The tasks unacheivable,
Mountains unscalable-
If it`s conceivable
But unavailable,
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-

Agony!

CINDERELLA`S PRIN
