Howard Ashman

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thing-a-ma-bobs?
I've got twenty!
But who cares
No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walkin' around on those - what do you call them?
Feet!

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strolling along down a - what's that word again?
Street!

Up where they walk, up where they run


Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
That they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand

I'm ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it, what's the word?
Burn!

When's it my turn
When's it my turn
To be....
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wondering free, wish I could be
Part of that world

Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wondering free, wish I could be
Part of that world...

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl (kiss the girl)

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
It's such a shame too bad
Your gonna miss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
It's such a shame too bad
He gonna miss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You want to kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
The music play
Do what the music say

You got to kiss the girl
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

Little town, it's a quiet village Every day, like the one before Little town, full of little people waking up to say...
Bonjour-

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 won't discover that it's him 'til chaper three!
Now it's no wonder that her name means beauty Her looks have got no paralle! 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
WoW! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston! You're the great hunter in the whole world!
I know! Huh. No beast alive stands a chance against you... and no girl for that matter! It's true, Lefou, and I've got my sights set on that one! The inventor's daugther?
She's the one! The lucky girl I'm going to marry. But she's -- The most beautiful girl in town. I know --
And that makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best? Well of course, I mean you do, but I mean... Right from the moment when I met her, saw her I said sh's gorgeous and I fell Here in town there's only she Who is beautiful as me So I'm making palns 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 hadsome brute

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 !

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learing you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
