Lyrics[]
Original[]
LeFou:
- Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
- Looking so down in the dumps
- Every 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 everyone's favorite guy
- Everyone'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
- 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
- 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 every last inch of me's covered with hair!
- Chorus:
- No one hits like Gaston
- Matches wits like Gaston
- LeFou:
- In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
- Gaston:
- I'm especially good at expectorating! Ptoooie!
- Chorus:
- 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:
- 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!
[Heard only in the soundtrack version]
- Chorus:
- Say it again!
- Who's a man among men?
- And then say it once more
- Who's that hero next door?
- Who's a super success?
- Don't you know? Can't you guess?
- Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
- There's just one guy in town
- Who's got all of it down...
- LeFou:
- And his name's G-A-S... T...
- G-A-S-T-E...
- G-A-S-T-O... ohh, ow...
- Chorus:
- GASTON!!!
[Heard only in the film version]
- Chorus:
- My what a guy!
- GASTON!
Reprise[]
- Gaston:
- LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking
- LeFou:
- A dangerous pastime
- Gaston:
- I know,
- But that wacky 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 promised myself I'd be married to Belle
- And right now I'm evolving a plan!
- Gaston: If I... *whispering*
- LeFou: Yes?
- Gaston: Then we... *whispering*
- LeFou: No, would she?
- Gaston: *whispering* Guess!
- LeFou: Now I get it!
- Gaston and LeFou: Let's go!
- Gaston and LeFou
- No one plots like Gaston
- Gaston:
- Takes cheap shots like Gaston
- LeFou:
- Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston!
- Chorus:
- So his marriage we soon will be celebrating
- My what a guy
- Gaston!
