The Mob Song
Disney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Beast will make off with your children
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
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 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

Overall Meaning

The Mob Song from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" is a pivotal moment in the story when the villagers decide to kill the Beast. The lyrics reflect the fear and anger the villagers have towards the Beast, who they believe is a monster who has been terrorizing their village. They are convinced that he will come after their children, and so they believe the only solution is to kill him. The song shows the villagers' transformation from being afraid of the Beast to being willing to take action against him, even if it means violence.


The lyrics also highlight the theme of fear of the unknown and intolerance towards those who are different. The villagers are afraid of the Beast because he is different and they don't understand him. They believe that he is a threat to their way of life, and so they feel justified in killing him. However, the Beast is not really a monster, but a person who has been cursed. The song shows how fear and intolerance can lead to violence and the importance of understanding and acceptance.

We're not safe until he's dead!

He'll come stalking us at night!

[VILLAGER]
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite!

[VILLAGER]
He'll wreck havoc on our village if we let him wander free!

[GASTON]
So it's time to take some action boys, it's time to follow me!

Through the mist, through the wood, through the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare, but it's one exciting ride!
Say a prayer then we're there at a 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!

[GASTON, MOB]
Kill the beast!

[LEFOU]
There's a beast running wild, there's no question.
But I fear the wrong Monster's released…

[MOB]
Sally forth! Tally ho! Grab your sword! Grab your bow! Raise them up and here we go!

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!

[GASTON, MOB]
Hearts ablaze, banners high! We go marching into battle! Unafraid although the danger just increased!

[MOB]
Raise the flag, sing the song! Here we come, we're fifty strong
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong! Let's kill the beast!
Kill the beast! Kill the beast!



Hope you guys enjoy, it took me a little while to get some of the lyrics.
This, "Gaston", and "Evermore" have to be my top three favorite songs from the movie! 💜

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!

@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....

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

"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
