Human Again Lyrics

LUMIERE:
Ha ha, oui, my little friend, 
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

LUMIERE
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 several 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 savoir-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 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:
Shine up the brass on the door!

BABETTE
Alert the dust pail and the broom!

ALL:
If all goes as planned
Our time may be at hand
Any day now!

MRS. POTTS, DUST PAIL, EGG TIMER:
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!

(The library. The musical underscore continues as Belle finishes the book.)

BELLE:
“When Guenèvere heard that Arthur was slain, she went away to a convent, and no one could make her smile again.”
(closing the book)
That’s the end.
(He is clearly stricken by the tale.)

BEAST:
What a…
(he swallows the lump in his throat)
beautiful story.

BELLE:
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: 
Dinner? Me? With you? Well, that would be,
I mean -- Oh, yes!!

(Belle and Beast exit the castle)

ALL:
When we're human again
Only human again
When the girl finally 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!
