[belle:] little town
itand's a quiet village
evand'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
evand'ry morning just the same
since the morning that we came
to this poor provincial town
[baker:] good morning, belle!
[belle:] and'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:] thatand's nice. marie! the baguettes! hurry up! )
[townsfolk:] look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
dazed and distracted, canand't you tell?
never part of any crowd
and'cause her headand's up on some cloud
no denying sheand's a funny girl that belle
[man i:] bonjour
[woman i:] good day
[man i:] how is your famand'ly?
[woman ii:] bonjour
[man ii:] good day
[woman ii:] how is your wife?
[woman iii:] i need six eggs
[man iii:] thatand's too expensive
[belle:] there must be more than this provincial life
[bookseller:] ah, belle.
[belle:] good morning. iand've come to return the book i borrowed.
[bookseller:] finished already?
[belle:] oh, i couldnand't put it down. have you got anything new?
[bookseller:] ha ha! not since yesterday.
[belle:] thatand's all right. iand'll borrow . . . . . this one!
[bookseller:] that one? but youand've read it twice!
[belle:] well, itand's my favorite! far off places, daring swordfights,
magic spells, a prince in disguise -
[bookseller:] if you like it all that much, itand'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 sheand'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, isnand't this amazing?
itand's my favand'rite part because youand'll see
hereand's where she meets prince charming
but she wonand't discover that itand's him and'til chapter three
[woman:] now itand's no wonder that her name means andquot;beautyandquot;
her looks have got no parallel
[shopkeeper:] but behind that fair facade
iand'm afraid sheand's rather odd
very diffand'rent from the rest of us
[townsfolk:] sheand's nothing like the rest of us
yes, diffand'rent from the rest of us is belle
[lefou:] wow! you didnand't miss a shot, gaston! youand'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:] itand's true, lefou. and iand've got my sights set on that one.
[lefou:] hm! the inventorand's daughter?
[gaston:] sheand's the one - the lucky girl iand'm going to marry.
[lefou:] but sheand's -
[gaston:] the most beautiful girl in town.
[lefou:] i know, but -
[gaston:] that makes her the best. and donand'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 sheand's gorgeous and i fell
here in town thereand's only she
who is beautiful as me
so iand'm making plans to woo and marry belle
[bimbettes:] look there he goes
isnand't he dreamy?
monsieur gaston
oh heand's so cute
be still my heart
iand'm hardly breathing
heand'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:] and'scuse me!
[cheese merchant:] iand'll get the knife
[gaston:] please let me through!
[woman i:] this bread -
[man v:] those fish -
[woman i:] itand's stale!
[man v:] they smell!
[baker:] madameand's mistaken.
[belle:] there must be more than this provincial life!
[gaston:] just watch, iand'm going to make belle my wife!
[townsfolk:] look there she goes a girl whoand's strange but special
a most peculiar madand'moiselle
itand's a pity and a sin
she doesnand't quite fit in
and'cause she really is a funny girl
a beauty but a funny girl
she really is a funny girl
that belle
