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!
