Jack and the Beanstalk
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and rolled around
With his lordship's daughter
The Count was grieved to see the girl behaving in that fashion
He grabbed the lout and kicked him out
To quell the young man's passion
Good old Jack and his poor mum said "what will happen now!"
And so, hell-bent to pay the rent,
Jack went to sell the cow
He sold the cow for magic beans, which really made his day
His mum went red and smacked his head
And threw the beans away
A beanstalk grew throughout the night that burst the stony ground
All came to see this magic tree
From miles and miles around
A hand came down and snatched poor Jill right off the garden floor
None could resist that giant fist
And Jill was seen no more
A Fee-Fi-Fo and then a Fum drowned out Jill's desperate cry
All looked to Jack to get her back
Who climbed towards the sky

"Though I have passed the stage up to which panto, if done competently and with a feeling for spectacle and glamour, is a source of undiluted delight, I found myself passing a very pleasant evening"
