Gaston
Beauty and the Beast [Instrumental Edition] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who does she think she is, that girl has tangled with
The wrong man! No one says no to Gaston

Heh heh. Darn right

Dismissed! Rejected, publicly humiliated
Why, it's more than I can bear
More beer

What for? Nothing helps,I'm disgraced

Who, you, never Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together

Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're everyone's favorite guy
Everyone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why

No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on

No one's been like Gaston
A king pin like Gaston
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
My, what a guy, that Gaston

Give five hurrahs
Give twelve hip-hips
Gaston is the best
And the rest is all drips

No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston
For there's no one as burly and brawny
As you see I've got biceps to spare
Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny
That's right
And every last inch of me's covered with hair

No one hits like Gaston
Matches wits like Gaston
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
I'm especially good at expectorating (Ptooey)
Ten points for Gaston!

When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge

No one shoots like Gaston
Makes those beauts like Gaston
Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
I use antlers in all of my decorating
Say it again
Who's a man among men
And then say it once more
Who's the hero next door
Who's a super success
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's just one guy in town who's got all of it down
And his name's G-A-S-T
G-a-s-t e
G-a-s-t-o, oh

The song is an ode to Gaston and his perceived superiority over everyone else.


The lyrics of the song are dripping with irony and sarcasm.
