Gaston

The Beast will make off with

your children.

He'll come after them in the night.

Belle

No!

Gaston

We're not safe till his head is

mounted on my wall!

I say we kill the Beast!

Mob

Kill him!

Man I

We're not safe until he's dead

Man II

He'll come stalking us at night

Woman

Set to sacrifice our children

to his monstrous appetite

Man III

He'll wreak havoc on our village

if we let him wander free

Gaston

So it's time to take some action,

boys

It's time to follow me

Through the mist

Through the woods

Through the darkness and the shadows

It's a nightmare but it's one

exciting ride

Say a prayer

Then we're there

At the drawbridge of a castle

And there's something truly

terrible inside

It's a beast

He's got fangs

Razor sharp ones

Massive paws

Killer claws for the feast

Hear him roar

See him foam

But we're not coming home

'Til he's dead

Good and dead

Kill the Beast!

Belle

No! I won't let you do this!

Gaston

If you're not with us,

you're against us!

Bring the old man!

Maurice

Get your hands off me!

Gaston

We can't have them running off

to warn the creature.

Belle

Let us out!

Gaston

We'll rid the village of this Beast.

Who's with me?

Mob

I am! I am! I am!

Light your torch

Mount your horse

Gaston

Screw your courage to the

sticking place

Mob

We're counting on Gaston

to lead the way

Through a mist

Through a wood

Where within a haunted castle

Something's lurking that you

don't see ev'ry day

It's a beast

One as tall as a mountain

We won't rest

'Til he's good and deceased

Sally forth

Tally ho

Grab your sword

Grab your bow

Praise the Lord and here we go!

Gaston

We'll lay siege to the castle

and bring back his head!

Belle

I have to warn the Beast!

This is all my fault!

Oh, Papa, what are we going to do?

Maurice

Now, now, we'll think of something.

Mob

We don't like

What we don't understand

In fact it scares us

And this monster is

mysterious at least

Bring your guns

Bring your knives

Save your children and your wives

We'll save our village and our lives

We'll kill the Beast!

Cogsworth

I knew it! I knew it was foolish

to get our hopes up.

Lumiere

Maybe it would have been better if

she had never come at all.

Could it be?

Mrs Potts

Is it she?

Lumiere

Sacre Bleu! Invaders!

Cogsworth

Encroachers!

Mrs Potts

And they have the mirror!

Cogsworth

Warn the Master!

If it's a fight they want,

we'll be ready for them!

Who's with me?

Gaston

Take whatever booty you can find.

But remember,

the Beast is mine!

Objects

Hearts ablaze

Banners high

We go marching into battle

Unafraid although the danger

just increased

Mob

Raise the flag

Sing the song

Here we come, we're fifty strong

And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong

Let's kill the Beast!

Mrs Potts

Pardon me, Master.

Beast

Leave me in peace.

Mrs Potts

But sir!

The castle is under attack!

Mob

Kill the Beast!

Kill the Beast

Lumiere

This isn't working!

Featherduster

Oh Lumiere, we must do something!

Lumiere

Wait, I know!

Mob

Kill the Beast!

Mrs Potts

What shall we do, Master?

Beast

It doesn't matter now.

Just let them come.

Mob

Kill the Beast!
