Belle

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 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? [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? [WOMAN 2] Bonjour [MAN 2] Good day [WOMAN 2] How is your wife? [WOMAN 3] I need six eggs [MAN 3] That's too expensive [BELLE] There must be more than this provincial life [BOOKSTORE OWNER, spoken] Ah, Belle [BELLE, spoken] Good morning, I've come to return the book I borrowed [BOOKSTORE OWNER, spoken] Finished already? [BELLE, spoken] Oh, I couldn't put it down, have you got anything new? [BOOKSTORE OWNER, spoken] Ha-ha, not since yesterday [BELLE, spoken] That's all right, I'll borrow this one [BOOKSTORE OWNER, spoken] That one? But you've read it twice [BELLE, spoken] Well, it's my favorite, far off places, daring sword fights Magic spells, a prince in disguise [BOOKSTORE OWNER, spoken] If you like it all that much, it's yours [BELLE, spoken] But, sir— [BOOKSTORE OWNER, 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 With a dreamy, far off look And her nose stuck in a book What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle [BELLE] Now, 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 [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, 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 And no girl, for that matter [GASTON, spoken] It's true, LeFou, and I've got my sights set on that one [LEFOU, spoken] Huh, 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] 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 [WOMAN 1] Bonjour [GASTON] Pardon [BELLE] Good day [WOMAN 2] Mais oui [WOMAN 3] You call this bacon? [WOMAN 4] What lovely grapes [MAN 1] Some cheese [WOMAN 5] Ten yards [MAN 1] One pound [GASTON] Excuse me [CHEESE MERCHANT] I'll get the knife [GASTON] Please let me through [WOMAN 6] This bread [WOMAN 7] Those fish [WOMAN 6] It's stale [WOMAN 7] They smell [MEN] Madame's mistaken [WOMEN] 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)
