Adam Wylie, Stephen DeRosa and Kerry O'Malley - I Guess This is Goodbye / Maybe They're Magic [2002 Revival]

I guess this is goodbye, old pal
You've been a perfect friend
I hate to see us part, old pal
Someday I'll buy you back
I'll see you soon again
I hope that when I do
It won't be on a plate

Magic beans? We've no reason to believe they're magic
Are we to dispel this curse through deceit?

No one would have given him more for that creature
We did him a favor
At least now they'll have some food

Five beans

If you know
What you want
Then you go
And you find it
And you get it

Home

Do we want a child, or not?

And you give
And you take
And you bid
And you bargain
Or you live
To regret it

Will you please go home?

There are rights and wrongs
And in-betweens
No one waits
When fortune intervenes
And maybe they're really magic
Who knows?

Why you do
What you do
That's the point
All the rest of it
Is chatter

No it's not!

If the thing you do
Is pure in intent
If it's meant
And it's just a little bent
Does it matter?

Yes!

No, what matters
Is that everyone tells tiny lies
What's important, really, is the size

What?

Only three more tries
And we'll have our prize
When the end's in sight
You'll realize:
If the end is right
It justifies
The beans!
