Lumiere
I'll be cooking again
Be good looking again
With a mademoiselle on each arm
When I'm a 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
 
Lumiere
I'll hop down off this shelf
And "Toute suite" be myself
 
Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, and Cogsworth
I can't wait to be human again!
 
All Objects
When we're human again
Only human again
When we're knickknacks and whatnots no more
When we're human again
Good and human again
 
Dresser
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 and Mrs. Potts
When we're human again
Only human again
When the world once more
Starts making sense
 
Cogsworth
I'll unwind for a change
 
Lumiere
Really? That would be strange
 
Cogsworth
Can I help it if I'm t-t-temse!
 
In a shack by the sea
I'll sit back sipping tea
Let my early retirement commence
Far from fools made of wax
I'll get down to brass tacks
And relax
 
All Objects
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...
Shine up the brass on the door
Alert the dust pail and broom
It it all goes as planned
Our time may be at hand
Any day now!
Open the shutters and let in some air
 
Mrs. Potts
Put these here and put those over there
 
All Objects
Sweep up the years
The sadness and tears
And throw them away
 
We'll be human again!
Only human again
When the girl finally sets us free
Cheeks a-blooming again
We're assuming again
We'll resume our long lost joie de vie
 
We'll be playing again
Holiday-ing again
And we're praying it's A.S.A.P.
Little push, little shove
They could - whoosh! - fall in love
And we'll finally be human again
 
We'll be dancing again
We'll be twirling again
We'll be whirling around with such ease
When we're 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 finally reborn
 
And we're all of us
Human again
