Belle Jar

Belle

Alan Menkin

Beauty and the Beast

Little town it's a quiet village

Ev'ry day like the one before

Little town full of little people waking up to say

Bon jour Bon jour Bon jour Bon jour Bon jour

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

Good Morning Belle

Morning Monsieur

Where are you off to

The bookshop

I just finished the most wonderful story about a beanstalk and an ogre and a

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

Bon Jour

Good day

How is your family

Bon Jour

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

Ha ha 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 swordfights magic spells

A prince in disguise

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 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

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 diff'rent from the rest of us

She's nothing like the rest of us

Yes diff'rent 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

Ha ha ha

And no girl for that matter

It's true LeFou

And I've got my sights set on that one

Hm The inventor's daughter

She's the one -the lucky girl I'm going to marry

But she's -The most beautiful girl in town

I know but -That makes her the best

And don't I deserve the best

Well of course I mean you do but

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

Bon Jour Pardon

Good day

Mais oui You call this bacon What lovely grapes

Some cheese

Ten yards

One pound

'Scuse me

I'll get the knife

Please 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 strange but special

A most peculiar mad'moiselle

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
