Gaston Lyrics – Richard White

Soundtrack Album: Classic Disney

Gaston Text

Gaston:
Who does she think she is?
That girl has tangled with the wrong man!
No one says "no" to Gaston!
LeFou:
Huh! Darn right.
Gaston:
Dismissed! Rejected!
Publicly humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear.
LeFou:
More beer?
Gaston:
What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.
LeFou:
Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together.
Lefou:
Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Ev'ry 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 ev'ryone's favorite guy
Ev'ryone'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
Lefou and Chorus:
No one's been like Gaston
A king pin like Gaston
LeFou:
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
Gaston:
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!
Lefou and Chorus:
My what a guy, that Gaston!
Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip-hips!"
LeFou:
Gaston is the best
And the rest is all drips
Chorus:
No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
LeFou:
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston!
Bimbettes:
For there's no one as burly and brawny
Gaston:
As you see I've got biceps to spare
LeFou:
Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny
Gaston:
That's right!
And ev'ry last inch of me's covered with hair
Chorus:
No one hits like Gaston
Matches wits like Gaston
LeFou:
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
Gaston:
I'm espcially good at expectorating!
Ptoooie!
Chorus:
Ten points for Gaston!
Gaston:
When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Ev'ry 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!
Chorus:
Oh, ahhh, wow!
My what a guy, that Gaston!
No one shoots like Gaston
Makes those beauts like Gaston
LeFou:
Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
Gaston:
I use antlers in all of my decorating!
Chorus:
My what a guy,
Gaston!

Background and Context "Gaston" is a show-stopping number from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," a classic animated film released in 1991. This song is set in a tavern where the titular character, Gaston, laments his rejection by Belle, the heroine. His sidekick, LeFou, along with the tavern's patrons, praise Gaston's unmatched qualities in an attempt to cheer him up. The song, rich in humor and boasting, perfectly captures Gaston's narcissistic and chauvinistic character, serving as a contrast to the film's themes of love and inner beauty. Main Message and Theme At its core, "Gaston" serves to highlight the vanity and superficiality of its namesake character. Through exaggerated claims of Gaston's physical prowess and desirability, the song humorously underscores the shallow values he embodies. This contrasts sharply with the movie's overarching message that true beauty comes from within. The lyrics, filled with comedic braggadocio, not only entertain but also critique societal norms regarding masculinity and heroism. Meaning and Analysis The song employs hyperbole to illustrate Gaston's inflated ego and the adoration he receives from his peers, despite his obvious flaws. Lines like "No one's slick as Gaston" and "No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston" are laughably over the top, emphasizing the townspeople's blind adoration or perhaps their sarcastic tolerance of Gaston's arrogance. His description of eating eggs to grow large and his use of antlers in decorating are particularly humorous, further painting him as a caricature of machismo. Emotional Tone The mood of "Gaston" is predominantly boastful and comedic, with a touch of melancholy as it begins with Gaston's dejection over Belle's rejection. However, the energy quickly shifts to a lively and humorous celebration of Gaston's supposed virtues. The song's catchy melody and the patrons' enthusiastic participation create a jovial atmosphere, making it one of the film's most memorable moments. Cultural Significance "Gaston" reflects on the absurdity of excessive machismo and the pitfalls of vanity. It cleverly uses humor to critique a type of toxic masculinity, where physical strength and superficial charm are valued over genuine qualities of character. This song remains relevant as it addresses themes of societal expectations and the importance of looking beyond appearances, resonating with audiences long after the film's release. In conclusion, "Gaston" is a brilliantly comedic piece that not only provides levity within "Beauty and the Beast" but also offers a critical lens on character and societal values. Through its lively lyrics and memorable melody, it remains a standout song that captures the essence of its character and the timeless messages of the film.
