[Work Tape]
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
They're not e-
They're not even
They're not even friends
Then somebody bends-bends
They're not even friends
They're not even friends
Then somebody bends very gradually
Beauty-
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
They're not evеn friends
Then somebody bеnds very gradually
Just a little change
*inaudible dialouge*
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
'Til somebody bends very gradually
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Suddenly they dance
Suddenly a chance
Beauty and the beast
[Demo]
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
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
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
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
(spoken)
Off to the cupboard with you Chip
It's past your bedtime
Goodnight
Beauty and the Beast (Work Tape/Demo) was written by Alan Menken & Howard Ashman.
