Arabian Nights

Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where it's flat and immense
And the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home

{
Original first verse (1992-93):

 Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
 Where the caravan camels roam
 Where they cut off your ear
 If they don't like your face
 It's barbaric, but hey, it's home
}

When the wind's from the east
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down
Stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night

Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways

Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard
Could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes

Friend Like Me

Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales
But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails
You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You got some punch, pizazz, yahoo and how
See all you gotta do is rub that lamp
And I'll say

Mister Aladdin, sir
What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order
Jot it down
You ain't never had a friend like me
No no no

Life is your restaurant
And I'm your maitre d'
C'mon whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me

Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service
You're the boss
The king, the shah
Say what you wish
It's yours! True dish
How about a little more Baklava?

Have some of column "A"
Try all of column "B"
I'm in the mood to help you dude
You ain't never had a friend like me

Can your friends do this?
Do your friends do that?
Do your friends pull this out their little hat?
Can your friends go, poof?
Well, looky here
Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip
And then make the sucker disappear?

So doncha sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for your charge d'affaires
I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what-cha wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is rub like so - and oh

Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend like me
You ain't never had a friend like me, hah!

One Jump Ahead

[Aladdin:]      Gotta keep
              One jump ahead of the breadline
              One swing ahead of the sword
              I steal only what I can't afford
              ( That's Everything! )

              One jump ahead of the lawmen
              That's all, and that's no joke
              These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

[Crowd:]        Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!

[Aladdin:]      Just a little snack, guys
[Crowd:]        Rip him open, take it back, guys
[Aladdin:]      I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
              You're my only friend, Abu!
[Crowd:]        Who?

[Ladies:]       Oh it's sad Aladdin's hit the bottom
              He's become a one-man rise in crime
              I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em
[Aladdin:]      Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
              Tell you all about it when I got the time!

              One jump ahead of the slowpokes
              One skip ahead of my doom
              Next time gonna use a nom de plume
              One jump ahead of the hitmen
              One hit ahead of the flock
              I think I'll take a stroll around the block

[Crowd:]        Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!

[Aladdin:]      Let's not be too hasty
[Lady:]         Still I think he's rather tasty
[Aladdin:]      Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
              Otherwise we'd get along
[Crowd:]        Wrong!

[Aladdin:]      One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
              (Vandal!)
              One hop ahead of the hump
              (Street rat!)
              One trick ahead of disaster
              (Scoundrel!)
              They're quick, but I'm much faster
              (Take that!)
              Here goes, better throw my hand in
              Wish me happy landin'
              All I gotta do is jump

One Jump Ahead (Reprise)

Riffraff, street rat
I don't buy that
If only they'd look closer
Would they see a poor boy? No, siree
They'd find out
There's so much more to me

Prince Ali

Make way for Prince Ali
Say hey! It's Prince Ali

Hey! Clear the way in the old Bazaar
Hey you!
Let us through!
It's a bright new star!
Oh Come!
Be the first on your block to meet his eye!

Make way!
Here he comes!
Ring bells! Bang the drums!
Are you gonna love this guy!

Prince Ali! Fabulous he!
Ali Ababwa
Genuflect, shom some respect
Down on one knee!
Now, try your best to stay calm
Brush up your sunday salaam
The come and meet his spectacular coterie

Prince Ali!
Mighty is he!
Ali Ababwa
Strong as ten regular men, definitely!
He faced the galloping hordes
A hundred bad guys with swords
Who sent those goons to their lords?
Why, Prince Ali

He's got seventy-five golden camels
Purple peacocks
He's got fifty-three
When it comes to exotic-type mammals
Has he got a zoo?
I'm telling you, it's a world-class menagerie

Prince Ali! Handsome is he, Ali Ababwa
That physique! How can I speak
Weak at the knee
Well, get on out in that square
Adjust your vein and prepare
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali!

There's no question this Ali's alluring
Never ordinary, never boring
Everything about the man just plain impresses
He's a winner, he's a whiz, a wonder!
He's about to pull my heart asunder!
And I absolutely love the way he dresses!

He's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys
(He's got the monkeys, let's see the monkeys)
And to view them he charges no fee
(He's generous, so generous)
He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies
(Proud to work for him)
They bow to his whim love serving him
They're just lousy with loyalty to Ali! Prince Ali!

Prince Ali!
Amorous he! Ali Ababwa
Heard your princess was a sight lovely to see
And that, good people, is why he got dolled up and dropped by
With sixty elephants, llamas galore
With his bears and lions
A brass band and more
With his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers
His birds that warble on key
Make way for prince Ali!

Prince Ali (Reprise)

Prince Ali, yes it is he
But not as you know him
Read my lips and come to grips with reality
Yes, meet a blast from your past
Whose lies were too good to last
Say hello to your precious Prince Ali!

So Ali turns out to be merely Aladdin
Just a con, need I go on?
Take it from me
His personality flaws
Give me adequate cause
To send him packing on a one-way trip
So his prospects take a terminal dip
His assets frozen, the venue chosen
Is the ends of the earth - whoopee!
So long, ex-Prince Ali!

[Aladdin:]      I can show you the world
               Shining, shimmering, splendid
               Tell me, princess, now when did
               You last let your heart decide?

               I can open your eyes
               Take you wonder by wonder
               Over, sideways and under
               On a magic carpet ride

               A whole new world
               A new fantastic point of view
               No one to tell us no
               Or where to go
               Or say we're only dreaming

[Jasmine:]      A whole new world
               A dazzling place I never knew
               But when I'm way up here
               It's crystal clear
               That now I'm in a whole new world with you
[Aladdin:]      Now I'm in a whole new world with you

[Jasmine:]      Unbelievable sights
               Indescribable feeling
               Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
               Through an endless diamond sky

               A whole new world
[Aladdin:]      Don't you dare close your eyes
[Jasmine:]      A hundred thousand things to see
[Aladdin:]      Hold your breath - it gets better
[Jasmine:]      I'm like a shooting star
               I've come so far
               I can't go back to where I used to be

[Aladdin:]      A whole new world
[Jasmine:]      Every turn a surprise
[Aladdin:]      With new horizons to pursue
[Jasmine:]      Every moment red-letter
[Both:]         I'll chase them anywhere
               There's time to spare
               Let me share this whole new world with you

               A whole new world
               That's where we'll be
[Aladdin:]      A thrilling chase
[Jasmine:]      A wondrous place
[Both:]         For you and me

Some Day my Prince will Come

Some day my prince will come
Some day we'll meet again
And away to his castle we'll go
To be happy forever I know

Some day when spring is here
We'll find our love anew
And the birds will sing
And wedding bells will ring
Some day when my dreams come true

With a Smile and a Song

With a smile and a song
Life is just a bright sunny day
Your cares fade away
And your heart is young

With a smile and a song
All the world seems to waken anew
Rejoicing with you
As the song is sung

There's no use in grumbling
When the raindrops come tumbling
Remember, you're the one
Who can fill the world with sunshine

When you smile and you sing
Everything is in tune and it's spring
And life flows along
With a smile and a song

The Silly Song

Yodel:
Ho-la-la-ee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay-ee-la-ee-ay-ee-lee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay-ee-la-lee-ay-lee-o-lee-ay

(repeat)

I'd like to dance and tap my feet
But they won't keep in rhythm
You see, I washed them both today
And I can't do nothing with 'em

Chorus
Ho hum the tune is dumb
The words don't mean a thing
Isn't this a silly song
For anyone to sing?

I chased a polecat up a tree
Way out on upon a limb
And when he got the best of me
I got the worst of him

(Chorus)

(Yodel, etc.)

Heigh-Ho

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we really like to do
It ain't no trick to get rich quick
If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick
In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! In a mine!
Where a million diamonds shine!

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
We dig up diamonds by the score
A thousand rubies, sometimes more
But we don't know what we dig 'em for
We dig dig dig a-dig dig

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho

Chorus
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
(Whistle)

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho

(Chorus)

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
(Whistle)

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho hum

(Chorus three times)

Heigh-ho (until fade)

Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum (The Washing Song)

Step up to the tub
It ain't no disgrace
Just pull up your sleeves
And get up in place
Then scoop up the water
And rub it on your face
An' go blud-dle-ud-dle-ud-dle
Ud-dle-um-dum

Pick up the soap
Now don't try to to bluff
Work up a lather
An' when ya got enough
Get your hands full of water
Ya snort an ya snuff
An' go blud-dle-ud-dle-ud-dle
Ud-dle-um-dum

Ya douse an souse
Ya rub and scrub
Ya sputter and splash all over the tub
You may be cold and wet when your done
But ya gotta admit it's goot clean fun

So splash all ya like
It ain't any trick
As soon as your through
You'll feel mighty slick
Bunch of old nanny goats
Ya make me sick, goin'
An' go blud-dle-ud-dle-ud-dle
Ud-dle-um-dum

Now scrub good an' hard
It can't be denied
That he'll look mighty cute
As soon as he's dried
Well it's good for the soul
And it's good for the hide
To go blud-dle-ud-dle-ud-dle
Ud-dle-um-dum

Les Poissons

Les poissons
Les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop
And to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out the bones
Ah mais oui
Ca c'est toujours delish
Les poissons
Les poissons
Hee hee hee
Hah hah hah
With the cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes
Don't you?

Here's something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet
Then you slash through the skin
Give the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice

(Zut alors, I have missed one!)

Sacre bleu
What is this?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent crab?
Quel dommage
What a loss
Here we go in the sauce
Now some flour, I think
Just a dab
Now I stuff you with bread
It don't hurt 'cause you're dead
And you're certainly lucky you are
'Cause it's gonna be hot
In my big silver pot
Toodle loo mon poisson
Au revoir!

Kiss the Girl

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame?
Too bad, he gonna miss the girl

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You want to kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
The music play
Do what the music say
You got to kiss the girl
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

Poor Unfortunate Souls

[Ursula:]  The only way to get what you want is to become
          a human yourself.
[Ariel:]   Can you do that?
[Ursula:]  My dear, sweet child. That's what I do - it's
          what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk -
          like yourself - poor souls with no one else to
          turn to.

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light and made a switch
True? Yes

And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely and depressed
(Pathetic)

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain
In need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad
So true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!"
And I help them?
Yes, I do

Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

[Ursula:]  Have we got a deal?
[Ariel:]   If I become human, I'll never be with my father
          or sisters again.
[Ursula:]  But you'll have your man. Life's full of tough
          choices, innit? Oh - and there is one more thing.
          We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
[Ariel:]   But I don't have any -
[Ursula:]  I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a
          trifle. What I want from you is . . . your voice.
[Ariel:]   But without my voice, how can I -
[Ursula:]  You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't
          underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred
For ladies not to say a word
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?

Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man

Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy woman
And I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad
But true
If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll!
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul

Part of Your World (Reprise)

What would I give
To live where you are?
What would I pay
To stay here beside you?
What would I do to see you
Smiling at me?

Where would we walk?
Where would we run?
If we could stay all day in the sun?
Just you and me
And I could be
Part of your world

I don't know when
I don't know how
But I know something's starting right now
Watch and you'll see
Some day I'll be
Part of your world

Under the Sea

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate

Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow

Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea

Part of Your World

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has ev'rything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
(Sure) she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
(You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - feet
Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a
(What's that word again?) street

Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick o' swimmin'
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a fire and why does it
(What's the word?) burn?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

Daughters of Triton

Ah, we are the daughters of Triton
Great father who loves us and named us well
Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana
And then there is the youngest in her musical debut
Our seventh little sister, we're presenting her to you
To sing a song Sebastian wrote, her voice is like a bell
She's our sister, Ari

Fathoms Below

I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho
Look out, lad, a mermaid be waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms below

Fathoms below, below
From whence wayward Westerlies blow
Where Triton is king and his merpeople sing
In mysterious fathoms below

Heave ho
Heave ho

Heave ho
Heave ho
Heave ho
In mysterious fathoms below

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 I'm sure
              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. Wait and see
[Lumiere and Cogsworth:] We'll wait and see
[All three:]    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

The Mob Song

[Gaston:]       The Beast will make off with your children.
[Mob:]          {gasp}
[Gaston:]       He'll come after them in the night.
[Belle:]        No!
[Gaston:]       We're not safe till his head is mounted on my wall! I
              say we kill the Beast!
[Mob:]          Kill him!

[Man I:]        We're not safe until he's dead
[Man II:]       He'll come stalking us at night
[Woman:]        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:]        No! I won't let you do this!
[Gaston:]       If you're not with us, you're against us!
              Bring the old man!
[Maurice:]      Get your hands off me!
[Gaston:]       We can't have them running off to warn the creature.
[Belle:]        Let us out!
[Gaston:]       We'll rid the village of this Beast. Who's with me?
[Mob:]          I am! I am! I am! )

              Light your torch
              Mount your horse
[Gaston:]       Screw your courage to the sticking place
[Mob:]          We're counting on Gaston to lead the way
              Through a mist
              Through a wood
              Where within a haunted castle
              Something's lurking that you don't see ev'ry day
              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:]       We'll lay siege to the castle and bring back his head!
[Belle:]        I have to warn the Beast! This is all my fault! Oh, Papa,
              what are we going to do?
[Maurice:]      Now, now, we'll think of something.

[Mob:]          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:]    I knew it! I knew it was foolish to get our hopes up.
[Lumiere:]      Maybe it would have been better if she had never come at all.
              Could it be?
[Mrs Potts:]    Is it she?
[Lumiere:]      Sacre Bleu! Invaders!
[Cogsworth:]    Encroachers!
[Mrs Potts:]    And they have the mirror!
[Cogsworth:]    Warn the Master! If it's a fight they want, we'll be
              ready for them! Who's with me?
[Gaston:]       Take whatever booty you can find. But remember, the
              Beast is mine!

[Objects:]      Hearts ablaze
              Banners high
              We go marching into battle
              Unafraid although the danger just increased
[Mob:]          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:]    Pardon me, Master.
[Beast:]        Leave me in peace.
[Mrs Potts:]    But sir! The castle is under attack!

[Mob:]          Kill the Beast!
              Kill the Beast

[Lumiere:]      This isn't working!
[Featherduster:] Oh Lumiere, we must do something!
[Lumiere:]      Wait, I know! )

[Mob:]          Kill the Beast!
              Kill the Beast!

[Mrs Potts:]    What shall we do, Master?
[Beast:]        It doesn't matter now. Just let them come.

[Mob:]          Kill the Beast!
              Kill the Beast!
              Kill the Beast!

Gaston

[LeFou:]        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 ev'ryone's favorite guy
               Ev'ryone'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
               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 prefer to be on

[Chorus:]       No one's been like Gaston
               A king pin like Gaston
[LeFou:]        No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
[Gaston:]       As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
[Chorus:]       My what a guy, that Gaston

               Give five "hurrahs!"
               Give twelve "hip-hips!"
[LeFou:]        Gaston is the best
               And the rest is all drips

[Chorus:]       No one fights like Gaston
               Douses lights like Gaston
[Cronie:]       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 ev'ry last inch of me's covered with hair

[Cronies:]      No one hits like Gaston
[Townsman:]     Matches wits like Gaston
[LeFou:]        In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
[Gaston:]       I'm espcially good at expectorating
               (Ptooey!)
[Chorus:]       Ten points for Gaston!

[Gaston:]       When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
               Ev'ry 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

[Chorus:]       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
[Chorus:]       Say it again
               Who's a man among men?
               And then say it once more
               Who's the hero next door?
               Who's a super success?
               Don't you know? Can't you guess?
               Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
               There's just one guy in town who's got all of it down
[LeFou:]        And his name's G-A-S- T -
               G-A-S-T -  E  -
               G-A-S-T-O  -  oh!
[Chorus:]       Gaston

Belle (Reprise)

[Belle:]        Is he gone? 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

Belle (Little town)

[Belle:]        Little town
               It's a quiet village
               Ev'ry 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:]        '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! )

[Townsfolk:]    Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
               Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
               Never part of any crowd
               'Cause her head's up on some cloud
               No denying she's a funny girl that Belle

[Man I:]        Bonjour
[Woman I:]      Good day
[Man I:]        How is your fam'ly?

[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:]   Ah, Belle.
[Belle:]        Good Morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed.
[Bookseller:]   Finished already?
[Belle:]        Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?
[Bookseller:]   Ha Ha! Not since yesterday.
[Belle:]        That's all right. I'll borrow . . . . . this one!
[Bookseller:]   That one? But you've read it twice!
[Belle:]        Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights,
               magic spells, a prince in disguise -
[Bookseller:]   If you like it all that much, it's yours!
[Belle:]        But sir!
[Bookseller:]   I insist.
[Belle:]        Well, thank you. Thank you very much!

[Townsfolk:]    Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar
               I wonder if she's feeling well
               With a dreamy far-off look
               And her nose stuck in a book
               What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle

[Belle:]        Oh, isn't this amazing?
               It's my fav'rite 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 diff'rent from the rest of us
[Townsfolk:]    She's nothing like the rest of us
               Yes, diff'rent 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. Ha ha ha! And
               no girl, for that matter.
[Gaston:]       It's true, LeFou. And I've got my sights set on that one.
[LeFou:]        Hm! 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:]        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 a girl who's strange but special
               A most peculiar mad'moiselle
               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

[Lumiere:]      Life is so unnerving
              For a servat 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 shoeing
              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?

              With your ease
              Yes, indeed, we aim to please
