Tale as old as time, true as it can be, They're not even, they're not even, They're not even friends, and somebody met them. They're not even friends, they're not even friends, Then somebody met them, very gradually. Beauty, tale as old as time, true as it can be, They're not even friends, then somebody met them, Very gradually. Just a little change, tale as old as time, True as it can be. Barely even friends, till somebody met them, Very gradually. Just a little change, small to say the least, Suddenly they met, suddenly a chance, A beauty and a beast. Tale as old as time, true as it can be, Barely even friends, then somebody bends, Unexpectedly. Just a little change, small to say the least, Both a little scared, neither one prepared, Beauty and the beast. Ever just the same, ever a surprise, Ever as before, ever just as sure, As the sun will rise. Tale as old as time, tune as old as song, Bittersweet and strange, finding you can change, Learning you were wrong. Certain as the sun, rising in the east, Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the beast. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the beast. Off to the cupboard with you now, Chip. It's past your bedtime. Goodnight, love.
