Human Again From "Beauty and the Beast" Music and Lyrics by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman
I'll be cooking again, be good-looking again, With a mademoiselle on each arm When I'm human again, only human again Poised and polish and gleaming with charm I'll be courting again, chic and sporting again Which should cause several husbands alarm
I'll hop down off this shelf, and tout de suite be myself I can't wait to be human again
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 O, 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
Little push, little shove, they could - whoosh - fall in love!
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!
When we're human again, only human again When the world once more starts making sense I'll unwind, for a change (really? That'd be strange) Can I help it if I'm t-t-tense? 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!
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 If it all goes as planned our time may be at hand any day now
Open the shutters and let in some air Put these here and put those over there 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 all free Cheeks a-blooming again, we're assuming again We'll resume our long-lost joie de vivre We'll be playing again, holidaying again And we're praying it's ASAP We will push, we will shove They will both fall in love And we'll finally be human again...
We'll be dancing again, we'll be twirling again We'll whirling around with such ease When we're human again, only 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 re-born And we're all human again!
