Something There - The Tiny Boppers

Belle:

There’s something sweet

And almost kind

But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined

But now he’s dear, and so unsure

I wonder why I didn’t see it there before

Mme.

De La Grande Bouche:

Come along dearie.

Let’s get you off those wet things.

Beast:

She glanced this way

I thought I saw

And when we touched she didn’t shudder at my paw

No it can’t be, I’ll just ignore

But then she’s never looked at me that way before

Beast:

Belle, I have something to show you.

But first, you have to close your eyes.

It’s a surprise!

Belle:

May I open them?

Beast:

Alright, alright.

Now!

Belle:

I can’t believe it!

I’ve never seen so many books in my whole life!

Beast:

You like it?

Belle:

It’s wonderful!

Beast:

It’s yours!

Belle:

New and a bit alarming

Who’d have ever thought that this could be?

True that he’s no Prince Charming

But there’s something in him that I simply didn’t see

Belle:

Oh, this is one of my favorites!

It’s «King Arthur.»

Have you ever read it?

Beast:

No.

Belle:

You don’t know what you’re missing.

I’d love to read this again.

Wait… you can read this first.

Beast:

No, that’s alright

Belle:

No, really, you read it Beast:

Oh, No, you…

Belle:

No, you

Beast:

No!

I can’t…

Belle:

You never learn to read?

Beast:

Only a little, and long ago

Belle:

Well, it just so happens that this is the perfect book to read aloud.

Come here, sit by me Lumiere:

Well, who’d have thought?

Mrs Potts:

Well, bless my soul

Cogsworth:

Well, who’d have known?

Mrs Potts:

Well, who indeed?

Lumiere:

And who’d have guessed they’d come together on their own?

Mrs Potts:

It’s so peculiar.

Wait and see

Lumiere and Cogsworth:

We’ll wait and see

All three:

A few days more

There may be something there that wasn’t there before

Cogsworth:

Perhaps there’s something there

That wasn’t there before

Chip:

What?

Mrs Potts:

There may be something there that wasn’t there before

Chip: What’s there, Mama?

Mrs Potts: Ssh.

I’ll tell you when you’re older.

Come along now.

Let’s give them some privacy…

Chip:

Mama?

Mrs Potts:

Yes, Chip

Chip:

Will I ever get to be a boy again?

Mrs Potts:

I hope so Chip:

When will I know?

Mrs Potts:

Soon.

If it’s to be.

It will be very soon now.

Come along, son.

Belle:

Knowing now, that this was indeed the legendary sword called

«Excalibur,"Arthur tried to pull it from the stone.

He tried once to no avail.

He tried a second time, but still,

he could not pull it out.

Then, for the third time, Arthur

drew forth the sword…

Beast:

So that must mean he’s the king!

Belle:

Wait and see

Beast:

I never knew books could do that

Belle:

Do what?

Beast:

Take me away from this place, make

me forget for a little while

Belle:

Forget?

Beast:

Who I… What I am…

Belle:

We have something in common, you know

Beast:

What is that?

Belle:

In the town where I come from, the people think I’m odd

Beast:

You?

Belle:

So, I know how it feels to be… different.

And I know how lonely that can be Belle:

For the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword, and there

arose from the people a great shout.

Arthur is king.

Beast:

I told you so…
