Act II: Your Fault

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?
Go on, 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 the cow to get the curse reversed

It's your 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!
You 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 fault!)

No it isn't!
'Cause I gave it to my wife
(So it's her fault!)
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 it
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?)

But 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 in the first place (Well, if you hadn't thrown away the bean in the first place!)

Well if she hadn't raised them in the first place (It was your fault!)
Yes, if she hadn't raised them in the first place (She raised the beans in the first place!)
It's her fault!

She's responsible
She's the one to blame
It's your fault!

Shh!
