Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 giant's in the first place!
[Verse 2]
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?
Oh, and tell us who persuaded you to steal that gold?
[Chorus]
See, it's your fault
No! No!
Yes, it's your fault
Yes, it is!
It's not!
It's true
[Bridge]
Wait a minute, though, I only stole the gold to get my cow back
From you!
So it's your fault!
Yes!
[Verse 3]
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 his father's fault that the curse got placed
And the place got cursed in the first place!
[Chorus]
Oh! Then it's his fault!
So
It was his fault!
No!
Yes, it is, it's his
I guess
[Verse 4]
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?
Hmm
[Bridge]
Well who had the other bean?
The other bean?
The other bean?
You pocketed the other bean
I didn't! Yes I did
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 5]
Wait a minute! She exchanged that bean to obtain your shoe
So the one who knows what happened to that bean is you!
You mean that old bean that your wife, oh, dear
But I never knew, and so I threw— well don't look here!
[Chorus]
So it's your fault!
But, but
See, it's her fault!
And it isn't mine at all!
But what?
[Verse 6]
Well, 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?
[Verse 7]
The harp, yes!
She went and dared me to! You dared me to! She said that I was scared, so she dared me!
I dared you to? Me? No, I didn't!
So it's your fault!
[Outro]
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!
Yes, if you hadn't raised them in the first place!
Right! It's you who raised the beans in the first place!
It's your fault!
You're responsible, you're the one to blame, it's your fault!
