I Wish Lyrics

[NARRATOR]
Once upon a time
In the distant past
In a far-off kingdom
In a wide green valley
Lay a little a village
At the edge of the woods
And everybody in it
Was busy
And cheerful and thriving and full of contentment
And yet

[ALL]
I wish

[NARRATOR]
Beset

[MAN]
I wish

[WOMAN]
I wish

[NARRATOR]
With unfulfilled longing

[WOMAN]
I wish my house was made of gold

[NARRATOR]
Or, as some would say, dreams

[MAN]
I wish my well was filled with beer

[MAN]
I wish

[WOMAN]
I wish my feet were not so cold

[JACK]
I wish my cow were not so old

[WOMAN]
I wish my son-in-law would disappear

[MAN]
I wish I had more hair

[WOMAN]
I wish

[MAN]
I wish

[WOMAN]
I wish I'd something nice to wear

[MAN]
I wish

[JACK]
I wish my cow could go with me to school

[JACK'S MOTHER]
I wish my son was not a fool

[CINDERELLA]
I wish I had a family that really liked me

[WOMAN]
I wish

[MAN]
I wish

[WOMAN & MAN]
I wish

[NARRATOR, spoken]
Now, in this village at the edge of the woods, there lived a baker...

[BAKER]
I wish

[NARRATOR, spoken]
And his wife...

[BAKER'S WIFE]
I wish

[NARRATOR, spoken]
And what they wished for, more than anything...

[BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE]
I wish

[NARRATOR]
Was...

[BAKER]
I wish we had a baby

[BAKER'S WIFE]
I want to have a child

[BAKER]
A pink and shiny baby

[BAKER'S WIFE]
A tiny baby

[BAKER]
A little whiny baby

[BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE]
Who only lives to drive its parents wild
I wish we had a baby

[BAKER]
Who gurgled and who smiled

[BAKER'S WIFE]
A pink and twinkly baby

[BAKER]
A crinkly baby

[BAKER'S WIFE]
A little wrinkly baby

[BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE]
A source of light

[BAKER'S WIFE]
Who cries all night

[BAKER]
Whose eyes grow bright
The minute that they see me

[BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE]
I wish we had a creamy

[BAKER]
Screamy

[BAKER'S WIFE]
Dreamy

[BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE]
Baby

[MAN]
I wish my wife were not my wife

[WOMAN]
I wish I looked like her

[MAN]
I wish

[WOMAN]
I wish my life were not my life

[MAN]
I wish

[WOMAN]
I wish I were as smart as her

[WOMAN]
I wish these shoes were not so tight

[MAN]
I wish my parents wouldn't fight

[WOMAN]
I wish I were younger

[WOMAN]
I wish I had a daughter

[BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE]
I wish we had a baby

[WOMAN]
I wish my husband had a job

[BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE]
Who gurgled and beguiled
A pink and twinkly baby
A crinkly baby
A little nibbly baby

[CINDERELLA]
I wish I could go to the Festival

[BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE]
A dribbly, bubbly, cuddly, giggly, teensy-weensy, bouncy
A squishy little baby

[MAN]
I wish I were a...

[WOMAN]
I wish I knew a...

[WOMAN]
I wish I had a...

[ALL]
I wish
