Gaston (song)

## Gaston

"**Gaston**" is a song sung by Gaston (Richard White), LeFou (Jesse Corti), Gaston's Buddies, The Bimbettes, and the Villagers in *Beauty and the Beast*. It was sung to cheer up Gaston after Belle rejected his marriage proposal, and was started by LeFou.

## Lyrics

**Gaston:** *Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man. No one says no to Gaston.*

**LeFou:** *Heh, darn right!*

**Gaston:** *Dismissed. Rejected. Publicly humiliated. Why, it's more than I can bear.*

**LeFou:** *Uh, more beer?*

**Gaston:** *What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.*

**LeFou:** *Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together.*

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

**Stanley:** 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]*

**Bimbettes** **and 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...

**Bimbettes** **and Chorus:** Gaston!!!

*[Heard only in the film version]*

**Bimbettes** **and Chorus:** My what a guy!

Gaston!

### Reprise

No one plots like Gaston

**Gaston:** Takes cheap shots like Gaston

**LeFou:** Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston!

**Bimbettes** **and Chorus:** So his marriage we soon will be celebrating

My what a guy

Gaston!
