In to the woods, it’s time to go.
I hate to leave, I have to, though.
In to the woods— it’s time, and so I must be gin my jour ney.
In to the woods, and through the trees To where I am ex pect ed, ma’am.
In to the woods to Grand moth er’s house...
In to the woods to Grand moth er’s house...
The way is clear, The light is good, I have no fear, Nor no one should.
The woods are just trees, The trees are just wood.
I sort of hate to ask it, But do you have a bas ket?
In to the woods and down the dell, The path is straight, I know it well.
In to the woods, and who can tell What’s wait ing on the jour ney?
In to the woods to bring some bread To Gran ny who is sick in bed.
Nev er can tell what lies a head For all that I know, she’s al read y dead.
But in to the woods,
In to the woods, In to the woods to Grand moth er’s house, And home be fore dark!
