Belle lyrics

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 



Good morning, Monsieur. 



BAKER 



And where are you off to, today?



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? 



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 I



Bonjour! 



WOMAN I



Good day! 



MAN I



How is your fam'ly? 



WOMAN 2



Bonjour!



MAN 2



Good day!



WOMAN 2



How is your wife? 



WOMAN 3



I need six eggs! 



WOMAN 4



That's too expensive! 



BELLE 



There must be more than this provincial life!



BOOKSELLER



Ah, Belle.



BELLE 



Good morning, sir.

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 



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 



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 



MAN 



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 



I got it Gaston!

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. --- 

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 



Of course you do!



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



'scuse 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 mad'moiselle!



WOMEN



It's a pity and a sin



MEN



She doesn't quite fit in 



TOWNSFOLK 



'Cause she really is a funny girl 

A beauty but a funny girl

She really is a funny girl

That Belle!
