BELLE Little town, it's a quiet village Ev'ry day like the one before Little town, full of little people Waking up to say: TOWNSPERSON 1-5 Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! BELLE There goes the baker with his tray, like always The same old bread and rolls to sell Ev'ry morning just the same Since the morning that we came To this poor provincial town BAKER: Good morning, Belle! BELLE: 'Morning monsieur BAKER: Where are you off to? BELLE: The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story--about a Beanstalk and an ogre and a... BAKER: That's nice. Marie, the baguettes!

I wonder if she's feeling well WOMEN With a dreamy, far off look MEN And her nose stuck in a book TOWNSPEOPLE What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle! BELLE Now 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 chapter three! CUSTOMER 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 TOWNSPEOPLE She's nothing like the rest of us Yes, different from the rest of us is Belle!
