Human Again lyrics
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 / Which should cause several husbands alarm / I'll hop down off this shelf and tout suite be myself / I can't wait to be human again / Be human again / Only human again / We'll be knick-knacks and what-nots no more / When we're human again / Good and human again / Oh, cherie, we'll be only 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 birth to be human again / When we're human again / Only human again / When the world once more starts making sense / I'll unwind for a change / Really that would be strange / Can I help it if I'm 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 relax / When I'm human again / So sweep fast round 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 dustbin and broom / If it all goes as planned / Our time may be at hand / Any day now / Open the shutters and let in some air / Put these here and put those over there / Sweep up the years of 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-bloomin'again / We're assumin'again / We'll assume our long lost joie de vivre / We'll be playin'again Holidayin'again / And we're prayin'its'A.S.A.P. / We will push / We will shove / They will both fall in love / And we'll finally be human again
Beast: There never was a story of more woe...
Belle: Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
Beast: Could you read it again?
Belle: Here, why don't you read it to me?
Beast: Uh, all right. 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. Okay. Twoh...
Belle: Two."
Beast: Two." I knew that. Two households...
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 finally reborn / And we're all of us human / Again
