A Cut Above The Rest
David Ogden Stiers Jerry Orbach Paige O'Hara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know how to get me stressed
But when it comes to making
Christmas special
I′m a cut above the rest
If you could see things clearly
You can′t hold a candle to my timing
Ahh! I'm a cut above the rest
You belong side by side
You should never be apart
Cause when you're both together
You′re really twice as smart
Twice as smart
She does have a point
Yes, well, two heads are better than one
I′d say that as a team
We have got to be the best
[LUMIÈRE] Now we've found something
We both agree on
We′re a cut above the rest
There's no doubt that as a team
We two are the very best
Everyone who knows us must agree
We′re a cut above the rest
There's not doubt that as a team
You two are the very best
Everyone who knows us(you) must agree
We′re a cut
A cut above
Above the rest!
The song "A Cut Above The Rest" from Disney's Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is a conversation between the characters Lumière, Cogsworth and Belle. The song is about their teamwork, with Lumière and Cogsworth competing on who is the best at Christmas preparations. Lumière's line "To each his own, my friend, you know how to get me stressed" implies that he has reservations about Cogsworth's Christmas preparations. However, they acknowledge that they are better together and "twice as smart". Belle, who is originally an outsider to their world, agrees with them and says "there's no doubt that as a team, we two are the very best". The chorus reflects their confidence in their teamwork and how they believe they are "a cut above the rest" when it comes to making Christmas special.
