Belle

Little town, it's a quiet village
Every day like the one before
Little town, full of little people
Waking up to say
Bonjour! Bonjour!
Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!

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

Good morning, Belle
Good morning, monsieur
And where are you off to?
The book shop, I just finished the most wonderful story
About a beanstalk and an ogre and-
That's nice, Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up!

Look, there she goes, that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Never part of any crowd
'Cause her head's up on some cloud
No denying, she's a funny girl that Belle

Bonjour! Good day! How is your family?
Bonjour! Good day! How is your wife?
I need six eggs, that's too expensive
There must be more than this provincial life

Oh, Belle! Good morning
I've come to return the book that I borrowed
Finished already? I couldn't put it down
Have you gotten anything new?
Not since yesterday
That's all right, I'll borrow, this one
That one? But you've read it twice

Well, it's my favorite, far-off places, daring sword fights
Magic spells, a prince in disguise
If you like it all that much, it's yours
But madame, I insist
Well, thank you, thank you very much

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

Oh, 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

Now it's no wonder that her name means "beauty"
Her looks have got no parallel
But behind that fair facade, I'm afraid she's rather odd
Very different from the rest of us
She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, different from the rest of us is Belle

Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston
You're the greatest hunter in the whole world!
I know, no beast alive stands a chance against you
And no girl for that matter

It's true, LeFou, and I've got my sights set on that one
The inventor's daughter?
She's the one, the lucky girl I'm going to marry
But she-
The most beautiful girl in town! I know!
And that makes her the best, and don't I deserve the best?
But of course, I mean, you do, but I- (shh!)

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

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

Bonjour! Pardon! Good day!
You call this bacon?
Some cheese, ten yards, one pound
Excuse me! (I'll get the knife) please let me through

This bread (this fish) it's stale (they smell)
Madame's mistaken (well, maybe so)
There must be more than this provincial life
Just watch I'm going to make Belle my wife

Look, there she goes, that girl is strange, but special
A most peculiar mademoiselle
It's a pity and a sin, she doesn't quite fit in
'Cause she really is a funny girl, a beauty, but a funny girl
She really is a funny girl

That Belle
That Belle
That Belle
