Lyrics
Movie Version= (spoken) Lumiere: Hoho, lighten up Cogsworth and let nature take its course. Mrs. Potts: It's obvious there's a spark between them. Cogsworth: Yes yes yes... But there's no harm in fanning the flames. You know, a little. Besides, they must fall in love tonight if we ever expect to be human again. Lumiere: Aaah...human again... Mrs. Potts:: Human again... Lumiere: Yes, think what that means...

Lumiere: I'll be cooking again, be good-looking again, With a mademoiselle on each arm When I'm human again, only human again Poised and polish and gleaming with charm I'll be courting again, chic and sporting again Mrs. Potts: Which should cause several husbands alarm Lumiere: (Ha, ha!) I'll hop down off this shelf, and tout de suite be myself, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and Cogsworth: I can't wait to be human again

Essentials: When we're human again, only human again When we're knickknacks and whatnots no more When we're human again, good and human again Wardrobe: O, cherie, won't it all be top drawer? I'll wear lipstick and rouge And I won't be so huge Why, I'll easily fit through that door I'll exude savoir faire I'll wear gowns, I'll have hair It's my prayer to be human again

Mrs. Potts & Cogsworth: When we're human again, only human again When the world once more starts making sense Cogsworth: I'll unwind, for a change Lumiere: (Really? That'd be strange) Cogsworth: Can I help it if I'm t-t-tense? In a shack by the sea, I'll sit back, sipping tea Let my early retirement commence Far from fools made of wax, I'll get down to brass tacks and real-A-A-A-x! Chorus: When I'm human again!

So sweep the dust from the floor Let's let some light in the room I can feel, I can tell someone might break the spell any day now

Shine up the brass on the door Alert the dust pail and broom If it all goes as planned our time may be at hand any day now

Fifi and the maids: Open the shutters and let in some air Mrs. Potts: Put these here and put those over there Chorus: Sweep up the years, the sadness and tears and throw them away

We'll be human again, only human again When the girl finally sets us all free Cheeks a-blooming again, we're assuming again We'll resume our long-lost joie de vivre We'll be playing again, holidaying again And we're praying it's ASAP Little push, little shove They could both fall in love And we'll finally be human again...

Belle: "...For there never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo." Beast: Could you read it again? Belle: Well, here. Why don't you read it to me? Beast: Uhhh...Alright. Hmm...I-I can't. Belle: You mean you never learned? Beast: I learned, a little. It's just been so long. Belle: Well here, I'll help you. Let's start...here. Beast: Here, twoe...? Belle: Two. Beast: Two, I knew that. Two households, both alike in dignity...

We'll be dancing again, we'll be twirling again We'll whirling around with such ease When we're human again, only human again We'll go waltzing those old one-two-threes We'll be floating again, we'll be gliding again Stepping, striding, as fine as you please

Like a real human does, I'll be all that I was On that glorious morn, when we're finally re-born And we're all of us human again! Lumiere: Ha ha, oui, my friends. The day we have waited for may be at hand! Mrs. Potts: Oh, only if that were true, Lumiere! Lumiere: Aaah...human again Mrs. Potts: Human again Lumiere: Yes, think of what that means! Lumiere: I'll be cooking again Be good-looking again With a mademoiselle on each arm When I'm human again Only human again Poised and polished and gleaming with charm... I'll be courting again Chic and sporting again Mrs. Potts: Which should cause sev'ral husbands alarm! Chip: I'll hop down off the shelf Lumiere: And toute suite be myself Chip: I can't wait to be human again Mme. De La Grande Bouche, Mrs. Potts, Babette: When we're human again Only human again When we're knickknacks and whatnots no more Chip: Little push, little shove They could, whoosh fall in love Mme. De La Grande Bouche: Ah, cherie, won't it all be top-drawer I'll wear lipstick and rouge And I won't be so huge Why, I'll easily fit through that door I'll exude savior-faire ''I'll wear gowns! I'll have hair!'' It's my prayer to be human again Cogsworth: When I'm human again Only human again When the world once more starts making sense I'll unwind for a change Lumiere: ''Really? That'd be strange!'' Cogsworth: Can I help it if I'm t-t-tense? In a shack by the sea I'll sit back sipping tea Let my early retirement commence Far from fool made of wax I'll get down to brass tacks and relax All: When I'm human again So sweep the dust from the floor! Let's let some light in the room! I can feel, I can tell Someone might break the spell Any day now! Lumiere/Babette: Shine up the brass on the door! Alert the dustpail and the broom! All: If all goes as planned Our time may be at hand Any day now! Mrs. Potts, Egg Timer, Whisk: Open the shutters and let in some air Mrs. Potts: Put these here and put those over there All: Sweep up the years Of sadness and tears And throw them away! Belle: When Guenèvire heard that Arthur was slain, she went away to a convent, and no one could ''make her smile again. The end.'' Beast:  What a beautiful story Belle: Oh, I knew you would like it! I would like to ask you something Beast: What's that? Belle: ''A second chance. Would you have dinner with me tonight?'' Beast: ''Huh? Me? You? Well, that would be,'' I mean -- Oh, yes!! All: When we're human again Only human again When the girl fin'lly sets us all free Cheeks a-bloomin' again We're assumin' again We'll resume our long lost joie de vie We'll be playin' again Holiday' again And we're prayin' it's A-S-A-P When we cast off this pall We'll stand straight, we'll walk tall When we're all that we were Thanks to him, thanks to her Coming closer and closer And closer and... We'll be dancing again! We'll be twirling again! We'll be whirling around with such ease When we're human again Only human again We'll go waltzing those old one-two-threes We'll be floating again! We'll be gliding again! Stepping, striding as fine as you please Like a real human does I'll be all that I was On that glorious morn When we're fin'lly reborn And we're all of us human again! Mrs. Potts: Bless my soul, dare I say it, I think they're starting to like each other! Cogsworth: Hmmm, she merely dressed his wound, Mrs. Potts. Nothing to get steamed up about. Mrs. Potts: Yes, but the way she dressed it, kind and gentle, and the look in her eyes... Lumiere: Ha ha, oui, my friends. The day we have waited for may be at hand! Mrs. Potts: Oh, only if that were true, Chander! Lumiere: Aaah...human again. Mrs. Potts: Human again? Lumiere: Yes, think what that means!

Clouds pass the sundial The days move, and meanwhile They keep getting closer, well don't they? Sands fill the hourglass The moons wane, the suns pass An evening, a morning, a week intervenes They keep getting closer, you know what that means
