Alan Menken - 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-


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!
Morning monsierur !
Where are you off to?
The bookshop!
I just finished the most wonderfulrstory,
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 istracted, 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!


Ah, Belle!
Good morning.
I've come to return the book I borrowed.
Finished already?
Oh, I couldn't put it down!
Have you got anything new?
Now 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 swordfights,
magic spells, a prince in disguise!


We.., if you like it all that much, it's yours!
But sir!
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 chaper three!


Now it's no wonder that her name means beauty
Her looks have got no paralle!
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
great hunter in the whole world!


I know!
Huh. 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 daugther?


She's the one! The lucky girl
I'm going to marry.
But she's --
The most beautiful girl in town.
I know --


And that makes her the best.
And don't I deserve the best?
Well of course, I mean you do, but I mean...
Right from the moment when I met her, saw her
I said sh's gorgeous and I fell
Here in town there's only she
Who is beautiful as me
So I'm making palns 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 hadsome brute


Bonjour!
Pardon!
Good day!
Mais oui!
You call this bacon?
What lovely grapes!
Some cheese!
Ten yards!
One pound!
Excuse me!
I'll get the knife!
Plz let me through!
This bread!
Those fish!
It's stale!
They smell !!
Madame's mistaken !


There must be more than this provincial life!
Just watch I'm going to make Belle my wife!


Look there she goes a girl who's strage 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 !
