Belle - For Linda Worthington (Demo) - Remastered 2018

Hi, Linda, this is, uh, Howard and Alan here,
And we're gonna give you a, uh, rough, sketchy
Demo version of the opening number. OK? OK.

Little town, just a quiet village
Every day like the one before
Little town, full of little people
Waking up to say

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.
Where are you off to?
Oh, the bookshop. I just finished this wonderful story about a—
Gotuille! Bring the croissants!

Look, there she goes, that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Never part of any crowd
With her head 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!

(Ding-a-ling-a-ling!)
Ah, Belle!
Thanks for the loan.
Finished already?
Couldn't put it down. Do you have anything new?
Not since yesterday.
Then may I borrow that one?
Again? You've read it three times!
Oh, I know, but I just love the part about the seven dwarves.
Thank you!
Anytime, cherie!

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 doesn't know it's really him 'til chapter 3!

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!

(Guck!)
You didn't miss a shot, Gaston!
You're the greatest hunter in the world!
I know.
Not a beast alive stands a chance against you.
Ha ha! Or any girl, for that matter.
I've got my sights set on that one!
The inventor's daughter?
That's the girl I'm going to marry!
She's— she's—
The most beautiful girl in town.
I know, but—
Well, that makes her the best.
And don't I deserve the best?
No! I mean, yes! I mean—

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—

Bonjour!
Good day!
You call this bacon?
Some cheese
One pound
I'll get the knife
This bread
It's stale
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, 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!

(Bonjour!)
(Good day!)
(Bonjour!)
(Bonjour!)
(Bonjour!)
(Bonjour!)
