Belle
BELLE: Little town
It's a quiet village
Every day
Like the one before
Little town
Full of little people
Waking up to say:
TOWNSFOLK: Bonjour! Bonjour!
Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!
BELLE: There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town
BAKER (SPOKEN): Good Morning, Belle!
BELLE (SPOKEN): 'Morning, Monsieur.
BAKER (SPOKEN): Where are you off to?
BELLE (SPOKEN): The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story about a beanstalk and an ogre and a--
BAKER (SPOKEN): That's nice. Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up!
TOWNSFOLK: Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
UPPITY WOMAN: Never part of any crowd
ROUGH MAN: Cause her head's up on some cloud
TOWNSFOLK: No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
MAN I: Bonjour
WOMAN I: Good day
MAN I: How is your family?
WOMAN II: Bonjour
MAN II: Good day
WOMAN II: How is your wife?
WOMAN III: I need six eggs
MAN III: That's too expensive
BELLE: There must be more than this provincial life!
BOOKSELLER (SPOKEN): Ah, Belle.
BELLE (SPOKEN): Good Morning! I've come to return the book I borrowed.
BOOKSELLER (SPOKEN): Finished already?
BELLE (SPOKEN): Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?
BOOKSELLER (SPOKEN): Ha Ha! Not since yesterday.
BELLE (SPOKEN): That's all right. I'll borrow...this one!
BOOKSELLER (SPOKEN): That one? But you've read it twice!
BELLE (SPOKEN): Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!
BOOKSELLER (SPOKEN): If you like it all that much, it's yours!
BELLE (SPOKEN): But sir!
BOOKSELLER (SPOKEN): I insist.
BELLE (SPOKEN): Well, thank you. Thank you very much!
TOWNSFOLK: Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar
I wonder if she's feeling well
GIRLS: With a dreamy far-off look
GUYS: And her nose stuck in a book
TOWNSFOLK: What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle
BELLE: Oh, isn't this amazing?
It's my favorite part because you'll see
Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three
WIG WOMAN: Now it's no wonder that her name means "beauty"
Her looks have got no parallel
WIG SHOPKEEPER: But behind that fair facade
I'm afraid she's rather odd
Very different from the rest of us
TOWNSFOLK: She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, different from the rest of us is Belle
LEFOU (SPOKEN): Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston! You're the greatest hunter in the whole world!
GASTON (SPOKEN): I know.
LEFOU (SPOKEN): No beast alive stands a chance against you. Ha ha ha! And no girl, for that matter.
GASTON (SPOKEN): It's true, LeFou. And I've got my sights set on that one.
LEFOU (SPOKEN): Hm! The inventor's daughter?
GASTON (SPOKEN): She's the one--the lucky girl I'm going to marry.
LEFOU (SPOKEN): But she's--
GASTON (SPOKEN): The most beautiful girl in town.
LEFOU (SPOKEN): I know, but--
GASTON (SPOKEN): That makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?
LEFOU (SPOKEN): Well, of course! I mean you do, but--
GASTON: Right from the moment when I met her, saw her
I said she's gorgeous and I fell
Here in town there's only she
Who is beautiful as me
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle
BIMBETTES: Look there he goes
Isn't he dreamy?
Monsieur Gaston
Oh he's so cute
Be still my heart
I'm hardly breathing
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute
MAN I: Bonjour!
GASTON: Pardon
MAN II: Good day
MAN III: Mais oui!
MATRON: You call this bacon?
WOMAN I: What lovely grapes!
MAN IV: Some cheese
WOMAN II: Ten yards
MAN IV: One pound
GASTON: 'Scuse me!
CHEESE MERCHANT: I'll get the knife
GASTON: Please let me through!
WOMAN I: This bread
MAN V: Those fish
WOMAN I: It's stale!
MAN V: They smell!
BAKER: Madame's mistaken
BELLE: There must be more than this provincial life!
GASTON: Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife!
Townsfolk: Look there she goes
The girl is strange but special
A most peculiar madmoiselle!
It's a pity and a sin
She doesn't quite fit in
'Cause she really is a funny girl
A beauty but a funny girl
She really is a funny girl
That Belle!
Belle (Reprise)
Can you imagine? He asked me to marry him! Me! the wife of that boorish, brainless...
"Madame Gaston"
Can't you just see it?
"Madame Gaston"
His little wife
No, sir, not me
I guarantee it
I want much more than this provincial life!
I want adventure in the great wide somewhere
I want it more than I can tell
And for once it might be grand
To have someone understand
I want so much more than they've got planned...
Gaston
GASTON (SPOKEN): Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man! No one says "no" to Gaston!
LEFOU (SPOKEN): Heh, heh. Darn right!
GASTON (SPOKEN): Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear!
LEFOU (SPOKEN): More beer?
GASTON (SPOKEN): What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.
LEFOU (SPOKEN): Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together!
Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're everyone's favorite guy!
Everyone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why...
No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston!
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston's!
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect! A pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on!
MEN: No one's been like Gaston
A kingpin like Gaston!
LEFOU: No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston!
GASTON: As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!
MEN: My, what a guy, that Gaston!
Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip-hips!"
LEFOU: Gaston is the best, and the rest is all drips!
MEN: No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston!
MAN I: In a wrestling match, nobody bites like Gaston!
BIMBETTES: For there's no one as burly and brawny!
GASTON: As you see, I've got biceps to spare!
LEFOU: Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny!
GASTON: That's right!
And every last inch of me's covered with hair!
MEN: No one hits like Gaston!
MAN II: Matches wits like Gaston!
LEFOU: In a spitting match, nobody spits like Gaston!
GASTON: I'm especially good at expectorating!
Ptooey!
MEN: Ten points for Gaston!
GASTON: When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge!
ALL: No one shoots like Gaston!
Makes those beauts like Gaston!
LEFOU: Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston!
GASTON: I use antlers in all of my decorating!
ALL: My, what a guy, Gaston!
Gaston (Reprise)
GASTON: Lefou, I'm afraid I've been thinking
LEFOU: A dangerous pastime-
GASTON: I know
But that wacky old coot is Belle's father
And his sanity's only "so-so."
Now, the wheels in my head have been turning
Since I looked at that loony old man
See, I promised myself I'd be married to Belle
And right now I'm evolving a plan!
If I...
LEFOU (SPOKEN): Yes?
GASTON (SPOKEN): Then we...
LEFOU (SPOKEN): No! Would she?
GASTON (SPOKEN): Guess!
LEFOU (SPOKEN): Now I get it!
BOTH: Let's go!
No one plots like Gaston...
GASTON: Takes cheap shots like Gaston!
LEFOU: Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston!
ALL: So his marriage we soon'll be celebrating!
My, what a guy!
Gaston!
Be Our Guest
LUMIERE (SPOKEN): Ma chère mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents...Your dinner!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, chèrie
And we provide the rest
Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the gray stuff, it's delicious
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
They can sing, they can dance
After all, miss, this is France!
And a dinner here is never second best
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest
LUMIERE & DISHES: Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"
LUMIERE: We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret!
You're alone and you're scared
But the banquet's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining
We tell jokes
I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks
BEERSTEINS: And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
LUMIERE & DISHES: Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be out guest
LUMIERE: If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest
LUMIERE & DISHES: Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
LUMIERE: Life is so unnerving
For a servant who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ah, those good old days when we were useful
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Ten years we've been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!
MRS. POTTS: It's a guest!
It's a guest!
Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed!
Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
I've had the napkins freshly pressed
With dessert
She'll want tea
And my dear that's fine with me
While the cups do their soft-shoein'
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
I'll get warm
Piping hot
Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
Clean it up! We want the company impressed
We've got a lot to do
Is it one lump or two?
For you, our guest!
ALL: She's our guest!
MRS. POTTS: She's our guest!
ALL: She's our guest!
Be our guest
Be our guest
Our command is your request
It's ten years since we've had anybody here
And we're obsessed
With your meal
With your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you
We'll keep going
LUMIERE & DISHES: Course by course
One by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Please, be our guest!
Something There
BELLE: There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
And now he's dear and so unsure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before
BEAST: She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw
No it can't be
I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before
BELLE: New and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be?
True that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see
LUMIERE: Well, who'd have thought?
MRS. POTTS: Well, bless my soul
COGSWORTH: Well, who'd have known?
MRS. POTTS: Well, who indeed?
LUMIERE: And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
MRS. POTTS: It's so peculiar
ALL: We'll wait and see
A few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before
COGSWORTH: You know, perhaps there's something there
That wasn't there before
MRS. POTTS: There may be something there that wasn't there before
Beauty and the Beast
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
The Mob Song
MAN I: We're not safe until he's dead!
MAN II: He'll come stalking us at night!
WOMAN I: Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite!
MAN III: He'll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free.
GASTON: So it's time to take some action, boys
It's time to follow me!
Through the mist, through the woods
Through the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare, but it's one exciting ride
Say a prayer, then we're there at the drawbridge of a castle
And there's something truly terrible inside!
It's a beast!
He's got fangs, razor sharp ones!
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast!
Hear him roar, see him foam, but we're not coming home 'til he's dead!
Good and dead!
Kill the Beast!
BELLE (SPOKEN): No, I won't let you do this!
GASTON (SPOKEN): You're not with us, you're against us! Bring the old man!
MAURICE (SPOKEN): Get your hands off me!
GASTON (SPOKEN): We can't have them running off to warn the creature!
BELLE (SPOKEN): Let us out!
GASTON (SPOKEN): We'll rid the village of this Beast. Who's with me?
VILLAGERS: I am!
I am!
I am!
Light your torch!
Mount your horse!
GASTON: Screw your courage to the sticking place!
VILLAGERS: We're counting on Gaston to lead the way!
WOMEN: Through a mist, to a wood
Where, within a haunted castle
Something's lurking that you don't see every day!
VILLAGERS: It's a beast, one as tall as a mountain!
We won't rest 'til he's good and deceased!
Sally forth!
Tally ho!
Grab your sword!
Grab your bow!
Praise the Lord and here we go!
GASTON (SPOKEN): We'll lay siege to the castle and bring back his head!
BELLE (SPOKEN): I have to warn the Beast! This is all my fault. Oh, Papa, what are we going to do?
MAURICE (SPOKEN): Now, now, we'll think of something.
VILLAGERS: We don't like what we don't understand
In fact, it scares us
And this monster is mysterious, at least!
Bring your guns!
Bring your knives!
Save your children and your wives!
We'll save our village and our lives!
We'll kill the Beast!
COGSWORTH (SPOKEN): I knew it. I knew it was foolish to get our hopes up.
LUMIERE (SPOKEN): Maybe it would have been better if she'd never come at all. Could it be?
MRS. POTTS (SPOKEN): Is it she?
LUMIERE (SPOKEN): Sacre bleu! Invaders!
COGSWORTH (SPOKEN): Encroachers!
MRS. POTTS (SPOKEN): And they have the mirror!
COGSWORTH (SPOKEN): Warn the master! If it's a fight they want, we'll be ready for them! Who's with me?
GASTON (SPOKEN): Cut down a tree, and make it a big one! Take whatever booty you can find. But remember, the Beast is mine!
VILLAGERS: Hearts ablaze, banners high
We go marching into battle
Unafraid, although the danger's just increased!
Raise the flag!
Sing the song!
Here we come, we're fifty strong
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong!
Let's kill the Beast!
MRS. POTTS (SPOKEN): Pardon me, Master.
Beast (SPOKEN): Leave me in peace.
MRS. POTTS (SPOKEN): But, sir! The castle is under attack!
VILLAGERS: Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
LUMIERE (SPOKEN): This isn't working!
FEATHERDUSTER (SPOKEN): Oh, Lumiere! We must do something!
LUMIERE (SPOKEN): Wait, I know!
VILLAGERS: Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
MRS. POTTS (SPOKEN): What should we do, Master?
BEAST (SPOKEN): It doesn't matter now. Just let them come.
VILLAGERS: Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
Beauty and the Beast (Reprise)
Certain as the sun
Rising in the East
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast!
