I'm sure those of you with kids have, at one time or another, gotten one of their songs STUCK in your head. Well, at our house, we're currently obsessed with Beauty and the Beast (particularly the Beast) and we play the soundtrack at least 50 times a day.
The song that is on permanent replay in my head is sung by Gaston after Belle rejects his marriage proposal. It's actually a funny song with funny lyrics (I've highlighted some of my faves below)...at least the first 49 times I hear it in a day. Part of the problem is that I don't know all of the lyrics by heart, so I get stuck on certain parts....like "every last inch of me's covered in hair" and "I'm especially good at expectorating."
This is what I fall asleep to at night.
Gaston: Who does she think she is?
That girl has tangled with the wrong man!
LeFou:Darn right.
Gaston: No one says "no" to Gaston!
Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear.
LeFou:More beer?
Gaston:What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.
LeFou:Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together.
Lefou:Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Ev'ry guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're ev'ryone's favorite guy
Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why
No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston's
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on
Lefou and Chorus: No one's been like Gaston
A king pin like Gaston
LeFou:No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
Gaston:As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!
Lefou and Chorus: My what a guy, that Gaston!
Give five "hurrahs!"Give twelve "hip-hips!"
LeFou:Gaston is the best
And the rest is all drips
Chorus:No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
LeFou:In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston!
Bimbettes:For there's no one as burly and brawny
Gaston:As you see I've got biceps to spare
LeFou:Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny
Gaston:That's right!
And ev'ry last inch of me's covered with hair
Chorus:No one hits like GastonMatches wits like Gaston
LeFou:In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
Gaston:I'm especially good at expectorating!Ptoooie!
Ten points for Gaston!
Gaston:When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Ev'ry morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge!
Chorus:Oh, ahhh, wow!
My what a guy, that Gaston!
No one shoots like Gaston
Makes those beauts like Gaston
LeFou:Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
Gaston:I use antlers in all of my decorating!
Chorus:My what a guy,Gaston!

my fav has always been the hair comment...
yum.
What does expectorating mean??
I thought expectorating meant cough up...aren't there expectorant syrups (cough syrup)
I think expectorating means spitting.
Thank you. I've said it out loud (just to C) in some sentences and couldn't make it work....So Vivi, are you good at spitting??? So not like you! :)
