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...
Townspeople
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
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!
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've borrowed.
Bookseller
Finished already?
Belle
Oh, I couldn't put it down.
Have you got anything new?
Bookseller
Ha ha!
Not since yesterday.
Belle
Oh, that's alright.
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
Well, 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 favorite part because you'll see
Here's where she meets prince charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'till chapter three!
Townsfolk
Now, it's no wonder
That her name means beauty
Her looks have got no parallel
But behind that fair facade
I'm afraid she's rather odd
Very different from the rest of us
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! He he he, and no girl for that matter!
Gaston
It's true, Lefou! And I've got my sights 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
We-well, of course-I mean, you do, but I don't think that-
Gaston
Right from the moment
That I met her, saw her
I said "She's gorgeous," and I fell
Here in town there's only she
Who's as beautiful as me
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle
Silly Girls
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!
Townsfolk
Bonjour!
Good day!
Gaston
Pardon!
Townsfolk
Mais oui
You call this bacon?
What lovely grapes
Some cheese
Ten yards
One pound
Gaston
'Scuse me!
Townsfolk
I'll get the knife
Gaston
Please let me through!
Townsfolk
This bread
Those fish
It's stale
They smell!
Madame's mistaken
Belle
There must be more
Than this provincial life!
Townsfolk
Well, maybe so!
Good morning!
Gaston
Just watch
I'm going to make Belle
My wife!
Townsfolk
Oh, good morning!
Townsfolk
Look, there she goes
The girl who's strange, but special
A most peculiar mademoiselle
It's a pity and a sin
She doesn't quite fit in
Though 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!
