Gaston
The books always have more pages
On somebody else's shelf
You dream about great adventures,
But you've got to be yourself
Just look at the man before you
And forget about your books
The princes in there are dimwits
(And they don't have half my looks)
Married to me
Married to me
Darling, with your cooperation, how great it could be!
Your books are of no use to you
Married to me, a dream come true
You'll be my wife
In our provincial life
Married to me
Belle
Gaston, I am truly speechless
I don't quite know what to say
It isn't that I'm not flattered,
But it's just not a good day
To ask me to become your bride
(I'm only eighteen, you know)
And though it will damage your pride,
I'm sorry, Gaston, but "no."
Married to you
Married to you
That wouldn't serve well on my poor nerves
Oh, what would I do?
Cleaning the house day after day
Sweeping my whole life's dreams away
Gaston
I'm filled with sorrow
Belle(attempting to shove him out the door)
See ya tomorrow
Sorry, we're through
Gaston
But I still don't see-
Belle(pretending to think hard)
Well, um, let's think, gee
You're mean and you're crude,
Conceited and rude
So please, Gaston, just go!
Gaston
Married to me
Married to me
Belle
Oh please, Gaston
Stop singing this song,
Hurry and leave!
Gaston
Look at my face and you will see
Think of the kids, if not of me
Thank God in heaven,
You'll have six or seven
Married to me!
Belle
Look, there's the door
Use it before I'm
Married to you
Gaston
I don't understand
Belle
That's why your leaving and
You're not comin' back ever
