beauty and the beast – no matter what (reprise) lyrics

maurice

first prize is nearly mine
it’s quite my best invention
so simple, yet complex;
so m-ssive, yet so small
this triumph of design
will be my old-age pension
that is, provided i can find the fair at all
i must have missed a sign…
i should have paid attention…
drat! (wolf howls)
that’s not a nightingale, and not a mating call.
wolves!
