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!)
