Belle:Little town, it's a quiet village
Every day like the one before
Little town full of little people
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
Townsfolk:
Good morning, Belle
Belle:
Good morning monsieur
Townsfolk:
where are you off to?
Belle:
The bookshop, I just finished the most wonderful story
about a beanstalk, and an ogre, and a---
Townsfolk: That's nice. MARIE the baguettes, hurry up!
Townsfolk:
Look, there she goes
the 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.
Man 1: Bonjour!
Woman 1: Good day!
Man 1: How is your family?
Woman 2: Bonjour!
Man 2: Good day!
Woman 2: How is your wife?!
Woman 3: I need....six eggs
Man 3: That's too expensive!
Belle: There must be more than this provincial life!
Man: ah, Belle
Belle: Good morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed.
Man: Finished already?
Belle: Oh I couldn't put it down. have ya got anythin' new?
Man: (chuckle) Not since yesterday.
Belle: That's alright. I'll borrow, this one.
Man: That one? But you've read it twice!
Belle: Well, it's my favorite: far off places,
daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!
Man: If you like it all that much, it's yours!
Belle: But sir?!?
Man: I insist!
Belle: Well thank you, thank you very much!
Townsfolk:
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.
Belle:
Ohhhhhh....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
till chapter three.
Woman:
Now it's no wonder that her name
means "beauty"
Her looks have got no parallel.
Shopkeeper:
but behind that fair facade.
I'm afraid she's rather odd,
very different from the rest of us.
Townsfolk:
She's nothing like the rest of us.
Yes, different from the rest of us is Belle
Belle: There must be more than this provincial life!
Townsfolk:
look there she goes....a girl who's 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!!
