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 'Til 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 & CHORUS 1 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! 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! CHORUS 2 Hearts ablaze Banners high We go marching into battle Unafraid although the danger just increased CHORUS 1 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!
