Beauty and the Beast lyrics

[Mrs. Potts]

Tale as old as time

True as it can be

Barely even friends

Then somebody bends

Unexpectedly

Just a little change

Small to say the least

Both a little scared

Neither one prepared

Beauty and the Beast

[Belle, spoken]

Dance with me?

[Beast, spoken]

No, I...

[Lumiere & Cogsworth, spoken]

Dance with her!

[Mrs. Potts]

Ever just the same

Ever a surprise

Ever as before

And ever just as sure

As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time

Tune as old as song

Bittersweet and strange

Finding you can change

Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun

Rising in the east

Tale as old as time

Song as old as rhyme

Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time

Song as old as rhyme

Beauty and the Beast

(spoken)

Off to the cupboard with you now, Chip

It's past your bedtime. Good night, love.​
