A long time ago, in a story so old
F Fm
There was a beauty and and a beast, or so I've been told
C Em
They were these two strangers, two lonely souls
F Fm
But it's not what you think, no, here's how it goes
C Em
Lets start with the Beast, he was ugly and scary
F Fm
Pathetic and poor, and horribly hairy
C Em
The outside was rough, but once he smiled
F Fm
You could see that he had a heart of gold inside
C Em
The Beast loved a Beauty, this pretty little thing
F Fm
She was the fairest of them all, and she could dance and sing
C Em
But unlike the beast whose love shined the best
F Fm
She loved herself, never cared for the rest
C Em
Oh, La Belle et la bête (the beauty and the beast)
F Fm
Quelle tragédie (what a tragedy)
C Em
Elle est comme le jour (she is like the day)
F Fm
Il est comme la nuit (he is like the night)
C Em
Il est amoureux (he is in love)
F Fm
Elle ne se soucie pas (she doesn't care)
C Em F
Vont-ils mourir tout seule? (Will they die alone?)
Fm C
On verra (We'll see)
C Em
One day the beast found the Beauty Perfection
F Fm
Sitting by the lake making love to her reflection
C Em
The Beast then decided that it was the time
F Fm
To tell the pretty Beauty of his feelings inside
C Em
He stepped out from the shades with a flower in hand
F Fm
Said bravely: My lady, the fairest in this land
C Em
I might not be a prince, but my heart beats for you!
F Fm
Oh the Beauty just laughed, so cold, so cruel
C Em
"You smelly old fat hairy pig", she said
F Fm
"You thought I could love you? I'd rather be dead!"
C Em
Still laughing she turned and danced to her home
F Fm
Leaving the Beast, heart-broken, alone
C Em
Oh, La Belle et la bête (the beauty and the beast)
F Fm
Quelle tragédie (what a tragedy)
C Em
Elle est comme le jour (she is like the day)
F Fm
Il est comme la nuit (he is like the night)
C Em
Il est amoureux (he is in love)
F Fm
Mais elle sien fout? (but does she give a damn?)
C Em F
Qui sera content aprés tout? (What will be told after all?)
Fm C
On verra (We'll see)
C Em
While the Beauty lives all by herself still today
F Fm
The Beast learned his lesson and changed his ways
C Em
He found that true beauty cannot be seen
F Fm C F Fm
And that things are most likely not what they seem
