Human Again Lyrics by Angela Lansbury, Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers

Beauty and the Beast (Special Edition Soundtrack)

2002

[LUMIÈRE, spoken]
Oh, lighten up Cogsworth, and let nature take its course!

[MRS. POTTS, spoken]
It's obvious there's a spark between them.​

[COGSWORTH, spoken]
Yes, yes. But there's no harm in fanning the flames, you know... a little. Besides, they must fall in love tonight if we ever expect to be human again.​

[LUMIÈRE, spoken]
Aaah...human again.​

[MRS. POTTS, spoken]
Human again.​

[LUMIÈRE, spoken]
Yes, think of what that means!

(sung)
I'll be cooking again
Be good-looking again
With a mademoiselle on each arm
When I'm human again
Only human again
Poised and polished and gleaming with charm

I'll be courting again
Chic and sporting again

[MRS. POTTS]
Which should cause sev'ral husbands alarm!

[LUMIÈRE]
I'll hop down off the shelf
And tout de suite be myself

[LUMIÈRE & MRS. POTTS]
I can't wait to be human again

[ASSORTED]
When we're human again
Only human again
When we're knickknacks and whatnots no more
When we're human again
Good and human again

[WARDROBE]
Ah, chérie, won't it all be top-drawer
I'll wear lipstick and rouge
And I won't be so huge
Why, I'll easily fit through that door
I'll exude savoir-faire
I'll wear gowns! I'll have hair!
It's my prayer to be human again

[COGSWORTH & MRS. POTTS]
When we're human again
Only human again
When the world once more starts making sense

[COGSWORTH]
I'll unwind for a change

[LUMIÈRE]
Really? That'd be strange!

[COGSWORTH]
Can I help it if I'm t-t-tense?
In a shack by the sea
I'll sit back sipping tea
Let my early retirement commence!
Far from fools made of wax
I'll get down to brass tacks
And relax!

[ALL]
When I'm human again
So sweep the dust from the floor
Let's let some light in the room
I can feel, I can tell
Someone might break the spell
Any day now!

Shine up the brass on the door
Alert the dustpail and the broom

If all goes as planned
Our time may be at hand
Any day now!

[BABETTE & DUSTERS]
Open the shutters and let in some air

[MRS. POTTS]
Put these here and put those over there

[ALL]
Sweep up the years
Of sadness and tears
And throw them away!

We'll be human again
Only human again
When the girl fin'lly sets us all free
Cheeks a-bloomin' again
We're assumin' again
We'll resume our long lost joie de vivre

We'll be playin' again
Holiday'n again
And we're prayin' it's ASAP
We will push, they will shove
They will, whoosh, fall in love
And we'll finally be human again!

[Dialogue]

We'll be dancing again
We'll be twirling again
We'll be whirling around with such ease
When we're human again
Only human again
We'll go waltzing those old one-two-three's

We'll be floating again
We'll be gliding again
Stepping, striding, as fine as you please
Like a real human does
I'll be all that I was
On that glorious morn' when we're fin'lly reborn
And we're all of us human again!
