Intro:

Little town it's a quiet village.

Everyday 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 provintial town.

[Baker]

Good Morning Belle!

[Belle]

Morning, Monsieur!

[Baker]

Where are you off to?

[Belle]

The book shop...

I just finished the most wonderful story,

About a beanstalk and an ogor and an...

[Baker]

That's nice. Marie! The bagettes! Hurry up!

[Group of Women]

Look there she goes that girl is strange no question.

Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?

[Woman #1]

Never part of any crowd.

[Man #3]

'Cause her head's up on some cloud.

[Villagers]

No denying she's a funny girl that Belle.

[Man #1]

Bonjour!

[Woman #1]

Good day!

[Man #1]

How is your family?

[Woman #1]

Bonjour!

[Man #4]

Good day!

[Woman #1]

How is your wife?

C/Bb-Bb -C/Bb - Bb -

[Woman #2]

I need six eggs!

C7/Bb-F/A

[Man #2]

That's too expensive.

[Belle]

There must be more than this provincial life.

[Book Shop Clerk]

Ah! Belle!

[Belle]

Good Morning! I've come to return the book I've borrowed!

[Book Shop Clerk]

Finished already?

[Belle]

Oh I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?

[Book Shop Clerk]

Ha, ha. Not since yesterday!

[Belle]

That's alright. I'll borrow...this one!

[Book Shop Clerk]

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!

[Book Shop Clerk]

Well if you like it all that much, it's yours.

[Belle]

But sir!

[Book Shop Clerk]

I insist.

[Belle]

Well thank you! Thank you very much!

[Group Of Men]

Look, there she goes that girl is so peculiar.

I wonder if she's feeling well.

[Group Of Women]

With a dreamy far off look.

[Group Of Men]

And her nose stuck in a book.

[Villigers]

What a puzzle to the rest of us, this Belle.

[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 till chapter three.

[Woman #3]

Now It's no wonder that her name means beauty,

her looks have got no parallel.

[Man #1]

But behind that fair facade,

I'm afraid she's rather odd.

Very different from the rest of us.

[Villigers]

She's nothing like the rest of us. Yes,

different from the rest of us is Belle.

[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.

[Gaston Groupies]

Look there

he goes,

isn't he dreamy?

Monsieur

Gaston!

Oh he's so cute!

Be still

my heart!

Bb7/G#-Eb/G

I'm hardly breathing.

He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute.

[Townsfolk]

[Gaston]

Oh, good morn ing

Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife!

[Townsfolk]

Look there she goes, a girl who's 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!
