1.Beauty and the Beast
Lyricist：Howard Ashman, Alan Menken
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
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
2.Belle
Belle：Paige O' Hara
Gaston：Richard White
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：
TOWNSPERSON 1-5
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!
WOMEN
Look, there she goes-
That girl is strange, no question.
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell？
WOMAN
Never part of any crowd.
BARBER
'Cause her head's upon some cloud.
TOWNSPEOPLE
No denying she's a funny girl that Belle!
MAN 1 WOMAN1
Bonjour!
Good day!
How is your family？
WOMAN2 MAN2
Bonjour!
Good day!
How is your wife？
WOMAN 3 MAN3
I need six eggs!
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 borrowed.
LIBRARIAN： Finished already？
BELLE： Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new？
LIBRARIAN： Not since yesterday!
BELLE： That's allright. I'll borrow...this one.
LIBRARIAN： 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!
LIBRARIAN： 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.
The 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,
TOWNSPEOPLE
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 'til chapter three!
CUSTOMER
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,
TOWNSPEOPLE
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-- 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： 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!
WOMEN
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!
TOWNSPEOPLE GASTON TOWNSPEOPLE
Bonjour!
Pardon!
Good day!
Mais, oui.
You call this bacon？
What lovely grapes!
Some cheese,
Ten yards!
one pound!
'scuse me!
I'll get the knife.
Please let me through!
This bread,
Those fish,
it's stale!
they smell!
Madame's mistaken.
BELLE TOWNSPEOPLE
There must be more than this provincial life! Well, maybe so X X
X
GASTON
Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife! X X X X
TOWNSPEOPLE
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!
Belle：Paige O' Hara
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...
4.Be Our Guest
Lyricist：Howard Ashman, Alan Menken
Ma chere mademoiselle
It is with deepest pride
And greatest pleasure
That we welcome you tonight
And now, we invite you to relax
Let us pull up a chair
As the dining room proudly
Presents, your dinner
Be our guest, be our guest
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we provide the rest
Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the gray stuff, it's delicious
Don't believe me？ Ask the dishes
They can sing, they can dance
After all, Miss, this is France
And a dinner here is never second best
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and then
You'll be our guest
Oui, our guest, be our guest
Beef ragout, cheese souffle
Pie and pudding en flambe
We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret
You're alone and you're scared
But the banquet's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining
We tell jokes, I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks
Und it's all in perfect taste that you can bet
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be our guest
If you're stressed
It's fine dining, we suggest
Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest
Life is so unnerving
For a servant 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
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-shoein'
I'll be bubblin', I'll be brewin'
I'll get warm, piping hot
Heaven's sake, 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, she's our guest
She's our guest, she's our guest
Be our guest, be our guest
Our command is your request
It's ten years since we've had anybody here
And we're obsessed
With your meal, with your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you, we'll keep going
Course by course, one by one
'Til you shout, 'Enough, I'm done'
Then we'll sing you off to sleep
As you digest
Tonight, you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest
Please be our guest
5.Gaston
Gaston：Richard White
Lefou：Jesse Corti
CHORUS
GASTON： Who does she think she is？!
That girl has tangled with the wrong man!
No one says 'no' to Gaston!
LEFOU： Darn right!
GASTON： Dismissed! Rejected! Publically humiliated!
Why, it's more than I can bear.
LEFOU： More beer？
GASTON： What for？ Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.
LEFOU： Who you？ Never! Gaston, you've got to pull
yourself together!
LEFOU
Gosh, it disturbs me to see you Gaston,
Looking so down in the dumps.
Ev'ry 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 everyone's favorite guy.
Everyone'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's.
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.
LEFOU and BEERDRINKERS
No one's been like Gaston,
a kingpin like Gaston,
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston.
GASTON
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!
LEFOU and BEERDRINKERS
My, what a guy, that Gaston!
Give five 'hurrahs!'
Give twelve 'hip hips!'
Gaston is the best and the rest is all drips.
No one fights like Gaston,
Douses lights like Gaston,
BEERDRINKER 1
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston.
THREE BLONDES
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 scraggly or scrawny,
GASTON
That's right!
And every last inch of me's covered with hair.
BEERDRINKERS
No one hits like Gaston,
OTHER BEERDRINKERS
Matches wits like Gaston,
LEFOU
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston.
GASTON
I'm especially good at expectorating!
Ptoooie!
ALL
Ten points for Gaston!
GASTON
When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
every 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!
ALL
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!
GROUP of BEERDRINKERS
Say it again!
ANOTHER GROUP of BEERDRINKERS
Who's a man among men
FIRST GROUP
And let's say it once more.
SECOND GROUP
Who's that hero next door？
ALL
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!
ALL
Gaston!
Gaston：Richard White
Lefou：Jesse Corti
MAURICE： Help! Someone help me!
INNKEEPER ： Maurice？
MAURICE： Please! Please! I need your help!
He's got her, he's got her locked in the dungeon
LEFOU： Who？
MAURICE： Belle! We must go! Not a minute to lose!
GASTON： Whoa! Slow down Maurice! Who's got Belle locked in
a dungeon？
MAURICE： A Beast! A horrible, monstrous Beast!
BEERDRINKERS：
BEERDRINKER ONE： Is it a big Beast？
MAURICE： Huge!
BEERDRINKER TWO： With a long, ugly snout？
MAURICE： Hideously ugly!
BEERDRINKER THREE： And sharp, cruel fangs？
MAURICE： Yes, yes! Will you help me？
GASTON： All right, old man. We'll help you out.
MAURICE： You will？ Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
INKEEPER： Crazy old Maurice!
BEERDRINKER ONE： He's always good for a laugh.
GASTON： Crazy old Maurice. Hmmmmm. Crazy old Maurice. Hmm.
GASTON
Lefou, I'm afraid I've been thinking.
LEFOU
A dangerous pastime,
GASTON
I know.
But that wacky old coot is Belle's father,
and his sanity's only 'so-so'.
Now the wheels in my head have been turning,
since I looked at that loony old man.
See, I promised myself I'd be married to Belle,
and right now I'm evolving a plan!
(to Lefou) LEFOU
If I .... (whisper) ...
Yes!
Then we'd ... (whisper) ...
No! Would she？
... (whisper) ... Guess!
Now I get it!
BOTH
Let's go!
No one plots like Gaston,
Takes cheap shots like Gaston,
Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston.
CHORUS
So his marriage we soon will be celebrating!
My, what a guy!
Gaston!
7.Prologue
Lyricist：Andrew Lloyd-webber, Tim Rice
Once upon a time, in a far away land
A young Prince lived in a shining castle
Although he had everything his heart desired
The Prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind
But then, one winter's night
An old beggar woman came to the castle
And offered him a single rose
In return for shelter from the bitter cold
Repulsed by her haggard appearance
The Prince sneered at the Gift
And turned the old woman away
But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances
For Beauty is found within
And when he dismissed her again
The old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful
enchantress
The prince tried to apologize
But it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in
his heart
And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast
And placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived
there
Ashamed of his monstrous form
The beast concealed himself inside his castle
With a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world
The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose
Which would bloom until his twenty-first year
If he could learn to love another
And earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell
Then the spell would be broken
If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time
As the years passed
He fell into despair and lost all hope
For who could ever learn to love a beast
8.Something There
Belle：Paige O'Hara
Beast：Robby Benson
Mrs. Potts： Angela Lansbury
Lumiere： Jerry Orbach
Cogsworth： David Ogden Stiers
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 LUMIERE
It's so peculiar,
Wait and see We'll, wait and see
LUMIERE and MRS. POTTS and COGSWORTH
A few days more.
There may be something there
That wasn't there before.
COGSWORTH
'Ere＊, perhaps there's something there
That wasn't there before.
MRS.POTTS
There may be something there
That wasn't there before.
9.The Mob Song
Gaston：Richard White
Belle：Paige O'Hara
Cogsworth： David Ogden Stiers
Lumiere： Jerry Orbach
Mrs. Potts： Angela Lansbury
GASTON： The Beast will make off with your children!
BELLE： No!
GASTON： We're not safe til his head is mounted on my wall!
I say we kill the Beast!
MOB： Kill the Beast!
MAN ONE
We're not safe until he's dead!
MAN TWO
He'll come stalking us at night!
WOMAN
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite!
MAN THREE
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： (muffled) Let us out!
GASTON： We'll rid the village of this Beast! Who's with me？!？
VARIOUS： I am!! I am!!!
I am!!
VILLAGERS
Light your torch!
Mount your horse!
GASTON
Screw your courage to the sticking place!
VILLAGERS
We're counting on Gaston to lead the way!
WOMEN
Through a mist, through a wood,
Where within a haunted castle,
Something's lurking that you don't see every day.
VILLAGERS
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 seige 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...
VILLAGERS
We don't like what we don't understand
in fact, it scares us
And this monster is mysterious at least!
MEN
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'd 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!
CASTLEWARE
Lights ablaze, banners high,
We go marching into battle,
unafraid, although the danger just increased.
VILLAGERS
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!
VILLAGERS
Kill the Beast! Kill the Beast!
LUMIERE： This isn't working!
FEATHERDUSTER： But, Lumiere, we must do something!
LUMIERE： Wait, I know!
VILLAGERS
Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
POTTS： What shall we do, Master？
BEAST： It doesn't matter, now. Just let them come.
VILLAGERS
KILL THE BEAST!
KILL THE BEAST!
KILL THE BEAST!
