Lyrics:

Belle

Show me the Beast

Crowd

(Scream)

Maurice

That's him! That's him

Woman

Is it dangerous?

Belle

Oh, no. No, he'd never hurt anyone. I know he looks
Frightful, but he's really very gentle and kind. He's my friend

Gaston

If I didn't know better, I'd think you had feelings for this monster

Belle

He's no monster, Gaston. You are

Gaston

She's as crazy as the old man. She says this creature is her friend
Well, I've hunted wild beasts and I've seen what they can do

The Beast will make off with your children

Crowd

(Gasp)

Gaston

He'll come after them in the night

Belle

No, he will never

Gaston

Forget the old man, I say we kill the Beast

MOB

Kill him

MAN 1

We're not safe until he's dead

MAN 2

He'll come stalking us at night

Woman

Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite

MAN 3

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
Till he's dead
Good and dead
Kill the Beast

Belle

No! I won't let you do this

Gaston

Try and stop us

Belle

Papa, this is all my fault. I have to go back and warn him

Maurice

I'm coming with you

Belle

No

Maurice

I lost you once, I won't lose you again

Belle

Then we'd better hurry

Gaston

We'll rid the village of this Beast. Who's with me?

MOB

I am! I am! I am

Gentlemen's chorus

Light your torch
Mount your horse

Gaston

Screw your courage to the sticking place

Gentlemen's chorus

We're counting on Gaston to lead the way

Ladies' chorus

Through a mist
Through a wood
Where within a haunted castle
Something's lurking that you don't see ev'ry day

Gaston and chorus 1

It's a beast
One as tall as a mountain
We won't rest
Till he's good and deceased
Sally forth
Tally ho
Grab your sword
Grab your bow
Praise the Lord and here we go

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

Gaston

Cut down a tree, and make it a big one! Take whatever
Booty you can find. But remember, the Beast is MINE

Hearts ablaze
Banners high
We go marching into battle
Unafraid although the danger just increased

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
Kill the Beast
Kill the Beast
Kill the Beast
