Lyrics
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
Ev'ry morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town
Baker: Good morning, Belle!
Belle: Good morning, Monsieur.
Baker: Where are you off to?
Belle: The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story. About a beanstalk and an ogre and a -
Baker: That's nice. Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up!
Women: Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Woman: Never part of any crowd
Man: 'Cause her head's up on some cloud
Townsfolk: No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
Man: Bonjour!
Woman: Good day!
Man: How is your family?
Another Woman: Bonjour!
Another Man: Good day!
Another Woman: How is your wife?
Mother: I need six eggs
Farmer: That's too expensive
Belle: There must be more than this provincial life!
Librarian: Ah, Belle
Belle: Good Morning. I've come to return the book I've borrowed.
Librarian: Finished already?
Belle: Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?
Librarian: (laughs) Not since yesterday.
Belle: That's alright. I'll borrow... this one!
Librarian: That one? But you've read it twice!
Belle: Oh, it's my favorite! Daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!
Librarian: Well if you like it all that much it's yours.
Belle: But sir!
Librarian: I insist!
Belle: Well thank you, thank you very much.
Men: Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar
I wonder if she's feeling well
Women: With a dreamy, far-off look
Men: 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!
Woman: Now it's no wonder that her name means "Beauty"
Her looks have got no parallel
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: Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston!
You're the greatest hunter in the whole world!
Gaston: I know.
LeFou: No beast alive stands a chance against you. (laughs) And no girl, for that matter.
Gaston: It's true, LeFou. And I've got my sight set on that one.
LeFou: The inventor's daughter?
Gaston: She's the one, the lucky girl I'm going to marry.
LeFou: But she's-
Gaston: The most beautiful girl in town.
LeFou: I know, but -
Gaston: That makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?
LeFou: But 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's 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!
Woman: Bonjour!
Gaston: Pardon
Belle: Good day
Woman: Mais oui!
Other Woman: You call this bacon?
Other Woman 2: What lovely grapes!
Merchant: Some cheese?
Another Woman: Ten yards
Another Man: One pound
Gaston: Please let me through!
Merchant: I'll get the knife
Another Woman: This bread
Yet Another Woman: Those fish
Another Woman: It's stale!
Woman: They smell
Men: Madame's mistaken.
Other Woman: Well, maybe so
Townsfolk: Good morning! Oh, good morning!
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 mademoiselle!
It's a pity and a sin
She doesn't quite fit in
But she really is a funny girl
A beauty but a funny girl
She really is a funny girl
That Belle
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Madame Gaston
Oh, can't you see it?
Madame Gaston
His Little Wife
Not me, no way 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...
