Gaston
Studio Beauty And The Beast Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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's
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
Who play cards like Gaston?
Who break hearts like Gaston?
Who’s much more than the sum of his parts like Gaston?
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
My, what a guy, that Gaston!
I needed encouragement
Thank you LeFou
Well, there's no one as easy to bolster as you
Too much?
Yep
No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston
When I hunt, I sneak up with my quiver
And beasts of the field say a prayer
First I carefully aimed for the liver
And I shot from behind
Is that fair?
I don't care
No one hits like Gaston
Matches wits like Gaston
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
I'm especially good at expectorating
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
Who has brains like Gaston
Entertains like Gaston!
Who can make up these endless refrains like Gaston
I use antlers in all of my decorating
Say it again
Who's the man among men?
Who's the 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
I believe there's another T
It just occurred to me that I'm illiterate
And I've never actually have to spell it out loud before
Gaston
The song Gaston from the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack is a tribute to the villainous character of the same name who is a self-obsessed man who thinks highly of himself. In the song, the townspeople praise Gaston for his looks, strength, and courage. Despite his flaws, the people of the town idolize him, and nobody is more admired than him. The song highlights his many qualities that make him the perfect man, and every man in town wants to be him. However, Gaston is not content with just the admiration of the townspeople; he wants Belle, the heroine of the story, to be his wife as well. The song conveys his relentlessness in pursuit of Belle, and he is willing to do anything to get her.
The song is full of humor, irony, and self-praise. The lyrics showcase the personality traits of Gaston and his arrogance. It also highlights the culture of idolizing figures who are not necessarily good people. The townspeople are convinced that Gaston is the best man they have ever met, but the audience knows better. The song features a lot of alliteration, especially in the first verse, which emphasizes Gaston's masculine physique. The song's humor shows when Gaston talks about his eating habits, how he uses antlers to decorate, and his lack of literary skills.

It just occurred to me that I'm illiterate
I just realized that I cannot read or write
And I've never actually have to spell it out loud before
I never had to say his name out loud before

EJ has transformed from being my most hated character in season 1 beginning to my most beloved character now alongside Gina. I'm so glad he and also Big Red have gotten their moments to shine this episode!
MrJon92as
Agree, but I hate how the people who despised Season 2 are turning a blind eye to that. I didn't like Season 2, overall, as much as the first, but Season 2 still had a few positive things.
Maanya Rawat
I have loved EJ since episode 1and still continue to do so. It did not change....
Tiffany joy M. Paual
