Okay, here are the complete lyrics to "Gaston" as printed in the B&B
piano music book put out by Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation:

(BTW I'm ommiting the spoken parts at the beginning because they're
pretty clear in the movie, but they are printed in my book)

Lefou:  Gosh it disturbs me to see you Gaston
	Looking so down in the dumps,
	Ev'ry 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 ev'ryone's favorite guy
	Ev'ryone's awed and inspired as 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 think 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!

Cronies:  No one's been like Gaston,
	  A kingpin like Gaston,

Lefou:	No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston!

Gaston:	As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating

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,

Cronie:	In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston

Girls:	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 scraggly or scrawny

Gaston:	And every last inch of me's covered with hair!

Cronies:  No one hits like Gaston

Townsperson:  Matches wits like Gaston

Lefou:  In a spitting match no body spits like Gaston

Gaston:  I'm especially good at expactorating
	Ptooey!
(Chorus)        Ten point's 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!

(here's where the movie goes:)
Chorus:	My what a Guy------Gaston!

(but the soundtrack and the piano music say:)
Chorus:	Say it again, who's a man among men?
	And then say it once more, who's the 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---oh-oh!

Chorus:	Gaston!


Hope this helps.  I still want to know why the soundtrack ending wasn't used
in the movie.  I also want to know why the soundtrack version of "Transfor-
mation wasn't used in the movie, as that's one of my all-time favorite
pieces of Disney music (that cello---wow).  Does anyone know this?

Bye,
Linda
