Lyrics

[Intro]
Help, someone help me
Maurice?
Please, please, I need your help
He's got her, he's got her locked in the dungeon
Who?
Belle
We must go
Not-Not a minute to lose
Woah, slow down, Maurice
Who's got Belle locked in a dungeon?
A beast
A horrible, monstrous beast
[Intro]
Is it a big beast?
Huge
With a long, ugly snout?
Hideously ugly
And sharp, cruel fangs?
Yes, yes
Will you help me?
Alright, old man
We'll help you out
You will?
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you
[Intro]
Crazy old Maurice
He's always good for a laugh
Crazy old Maurice, hmm?
Crazy old Maurice, hmm
[Verse 1]
LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking
A dangerous pastime—
I know
But that whacky old coot is Belle's father
And his sanity's only so-so
Now, the wheels in my head have been turning
Since I looked at that loony, old man
See, I've promised myself I'd be married to Belle
And right now, I'm evolving a plan
If I—
[Verse 2]
Yes?
Then we—
No, would she—
Guess
Now I get it
Let's go
[Chorus]
No one plots like Gaston
Takes cheap shots like Gaston
Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston
So his marriage we soon will be celebrating
My, what a guy, Gaston
