The Mob Song (From "Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration") Songtext
von Joshua Henry

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

We're not safe until he's dead, he′ll come stalking us at night
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite
He′ll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free
So it's time to take some action boys
It′s time to follow me

Through the mist, through the woods
Through 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 ′til 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 this Beast
Who's with me? (Yeah!)

Get your torch, mount your horse
Screw your courage to the stinking place
We're counting on Gaston to lead the way
Through the mist, through the 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 'til 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 your 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've been better if she had never come at all
Could it be? Is it she?
Sacré bleu! Invaders! Encroacher!
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 your flag, sing the song
Here we come, we're 50 strong, and 50 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
Wait, I know
(Kill the Beast! Kill the Beast!)

What should we do, Master?
It doesn′t matter now, just let them come
(Kill the Beast! Kill the Beast!)
(Kill the Beast!)
