(Mother)
Brave boy, give your mother a kiss
The woods are not as dark as they seem
Don't tear your shirt on brambles
Don't wander from the path
Be sure to leave an offering by the stream
The River King loves burdock best
The Rusalka honey wine
Don't talk to any strangers
And be home by supper time
(Hawker)
My Fine Young Man!
I've got something that you might like
Stray a little farther from the road
A golden goose, some magic beans!
Not everything is as it seems!
Don't heed your mother's warning
You're almost grown
If every boy in every story had listened to his mother
There'd be no more tales to tell around the fire
Cuz Jack he fought the Giant, and Hansel killed the witch
I might be selling snake oil, but I ain't no liar
La-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da-da-da
Come a little closer, Jack...
La-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da-da-da
It's time to wander front he path
La-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da-da-da
Tuck this little treasure in your pack
La-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da-da-da
You can take it, but you can't take it back
Don't the shade feel nice? Just a little farther now
You'll be the next famous Jack to stand out from the crowd
Try on these magic boots, buy a thimble of gold
I've got a lot of secrets, but secrets can be sold
La-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da-da-da
Come a little closer, Jack...
La-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da-da-da
It's time to wander front he path
La-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da-da-da
Tuck this little treasure in your pack
La-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da-da-da
You can take it, but you can't take it back
