Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Howard Ashman
Performed by Richard White, Paige O'Hara, Rex Everhart, Robby Benson, Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers, Angela Lansbury, and Chorus

The Beast will make off with your children
He'll come after them in the night
We're not safe till his head is mounted on my wall!
I say we kill the Beast!

Man I
We're not safe until he's dead

Man II
He'll come stalking us at night

Woman I
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite
He'll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free

Gaston
So it's time to take some action, boys
It's time to follow me

Through the mist, throught the woods
Throught the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride
Say a prayer, then we're there at the drawbridge of a castle
And there's something truly terrible inside
It's a beast! He's got fangs razor-sharp ones
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast
Hear him roar! See him foam!
But we're not coming home till he's dead
Good and dead!
Kill the Beast!

No, I won't let you do this!
If you're not with us you're against us
Bring the old man!
Get your hands off me!
We can't have them running off to warn the creature!
Let us out!
We'll rid the village of the Beast
Who's with me?
I am! I am! I am!

Mob
Light your torch, mount your horse

Gaston
Screw your courage to the sticking place

Mob
We're counting on Gaston to lead the way
Through a mist, through a wood
Where within a haunted castle
Something's lurking that you don't see every day
It's a Beast! One as tall as a mountain
We won't rest till he's good and deceased
Sally forth, tally ho, grab your sword! Grab your bow!
Praise the Lord and here we go!
We'll lay siege to the castle and bring back his head

I have to warn the Beast! This is all my fault!
Oh, papa, what are we gonna do?
Now, now, we'll think of something

We don't like what we don't understand
In fact, it scares us
And this monster is mysterious, at least
Bring your guns, bring your knives
Save your children and wives
We'll save our village and our lives
We'll kill the Beast!

I knew it! I knew it was foolish to get our hopes up
Maybe it would have been better if she had never come at all
Could it be, is it she?
Sacre bleau! Invaders! Encroachers!
And they have the mirror!
Warn the Master!
If it's a fight they want, we'll be ready for them!
Who's with me?

Take whatever booty you can find
But remember, the Beast is mine!

Hearts ablaze banners high
We go marching into battle unafraid
Although the danger just increased
Raise the flag! Sing a song!
Here we come, we're fifty strong
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong!
Let's kill the Beast!

Pardon me, Master
Leave me in peace
But sir, the castle is under attack!

Kill the Beast, kill the beast!

This isn't working!
Oh, Lumiere, we must do something
Wait, I know!

Kill the Beast, kill the Beast!

What shall we do, Master?
It doesn't matter now
Just let them come

Kill the Beast, kill the Beast, kill the Beast!
