The Mob Song
Beauty and the Beast [Instrumental Edition] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He'll come after them in the night
No
We're not safe 'til his head is mounted on my wall
I say we kill the Beast
We're not safe until he's dead
He'll come stalking us at night
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 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?
I am! I am! I am!
Light your torch, mount you horse
Screw your courage to the sticking place
We're counting on Gaston to lead the way
Through a mist, to a wood where within a hunted 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 and 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 going to 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 children and 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 have been better if she'd never come at all
Could it be?
Is it she?
Scarableu! 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? Ah-ha
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 the song
Here we come, we're fifty strong
And fifty Frenchman 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
"The Mob Song" is a pivotal scene in Beauty and the Beast, where the villagers are convinced that the Beast is dangerous and must be killed. "The Beast will make off with your children, He'll come after them in the night” Gaston sings, exploiting the villagers' fear and rage to turn them against the Beast. They march to the castle and begin to attack, while Belle and the Beast try to keep everyone at bay. In this song, we see how fear can be used to manipulate an entire community, making them behave irrationally and violently towards someone (or something) they don't understand. Gaston’s manipulation through fear even forces Belle's father to join the mob. This song also emphasizes the power of a leader, shaping the emotions and direction of the entire group.

Belle: You want proof? She me the Beast! There is your proof!
LeFou: Well, it IS hard to argue with that.
Gaston: This is sorcery! Look at this beast. Look at his fangs! His claws!
Belle: No! Don't be afraid. He is gentle and kind.
Gaston: She is clearly under a spell. If I didn't know better, I'd say she even CARED for this monster.
Belle: The Beast would never hurt anyone.
Gaston: We can't have her running off to warn the Beast. Lock her up. That creature will curse us all if we don't stop him! Well, I say we KILL THE BEAST!
The Mob Song begins
@tamira1060
Okay, I know people disagree but I think it's vry clear why gaston does all this:
1. We was the leader of the army years ago, thats also why all the villagers loved him (and because he is hot)
2. There wasn't a war in many years so he wanted some action, he says in the song 'It's a nightmare but it's one exiting ride' and he says 'Call it war, call it threat!' He thinks: finally a war again now I can do the only thing I'm good at
3. He is angry because why is the only girl that gives him "that sense of je ne sais quoi'" also the only girl that don't love him.
4. He's also angry at th beast because he locked Belle, his "future wife"
5. the whole village count on him to save the village because he is the big army leader and the people are affraid
6. He is a person who makes quick decisions, he goes on his instinct.
7. If you think of a beast, I'm sure you don't think he can be kind and honest. If you saw him, you would probably try to hurt or kill him or you run away.
I think 7 reasons is enough.
Btw, English is not my language so if it is't very good....
@dejaypage1575
Okay, Luke really plays up the evil,in this. His voice isn't as deep, but this plays his manipulative side
@orbarel3435
Dejay Page his voice is perfect!!
@KatyaArifinisnotreal
Dejay Page Exactly what I was thinking! There's more malice in his voice than the original.
@rainstarflowerdroplets9624
Carla Rosado Rodriguez it's wonderful too just like the 1994
@Augiegrl12
I know! My heart was pounding! :D
@daniellejordan1906
Well as I told my friends, if he could play Dracula/Vlad in Dracula Untold, then he can play Gaston lol. I can't WAIT to see him in this movie!!
@kosho88
"There's a beast running wild, there's no question. But I fear the wrong Monster's released..." I actually like this line...
@DarthWill3
I think it's "the real monster's released."
@shannondeyong4289
DarthWill3 No, Andres is right. It's "But I fear the wrong monster's released..."
It's chilling & on-point & I love it so much. It may be one of my favorite lyrics in the show. It's a small moment, but so dang good. I keep listening to this version of the song over & over. (And I adore the original movie soundtrack & the Broadway show is in my top 3-5 scores of all time.)
@nkirukaj2384
DarthWill3 no, they're right, it's "wrong" monster
