Buns ‘N’ Roses lyrics

[FLOWER SELLER]

Roses, glorious roses

Lovingly planted fruit of the land

[MILKMAIDS]

Fresh milk, creamy and frothy

Straight from my dairy, squeezed by my hand

[RIBBON SELLER]

Ribbons, colorful ribbons

Truly a rainbow, simply divine

[BAKER]

Hot buns, check out my hot buns

True, there are not buns equal to mine

[MINSTREL]

Oh, quelle belle matinee

Oh, quelle belle journee

[BAKER, spoken]

Ah, I see you're admiring my buns, child

[URCHIN, spoken]

I can't afford one, sir

[BAKER, spoken]

Then have one on me

For no one goes hungry in Belleville!

[URCHIN, spoken]

Cor! Thank you, sir!

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

Another day in paradise

In our town so picturesque every other seems grotesque

Forgive us if we brag a bit

Folks from Paris and Berlin all are begging to get in

[ALL MEN]

For forty-nine amazing years

We've won the Most Attractive Town and international renown

[ALL WOMEN]

Our citizens are works of art

Everyone a chiseled god with a ripped and rockin' bod

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

This burg's been handed every accolade

We've charm no other village offers

We're so dependent on the tourist trade

To fill our cupboards and our coffers

For forty-nine amazing years

There's no town that can compete frankly, if they could we'd cheat

Our livelihood depends on it

Travelers bless us with their feet, they don't come then we don't eat

[NOT CINDERELLA GIRL]

Wishing on a wishing well

A secret wish I shall not tell

Though my little bird has overheard

It will not breathe a word

Longing for a prince who's kind and sweet

To chimney sweep me off my feet

Tell me little friend, and be discreet

When will he—

[NOT CINDERELLA GIRL, spoken]

Ow! Oh the little bastard bit me

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

We keep our dirty laundry out of sight

The town of Belleville is perfection

There's not a villager with cellulite

There's not one blotch on one complexion

For forty-nine amazing years

We've won the Most Attractive Town and international renown

The fiftieth is in the bag

And if we don't win it's plain Belleville's going down the drain

We hail our queen, her majesty

Her agelessness, her timelessness

Her effervescence, her incandescence

[QUEEN, spoken]

Hello, my darling peasants

[MASTER OF CEREMONIES]

And His Royal Highness, Prince Sebastian

[SEBASTIAN, spoken]

Hiya

[LITTLE MAIDS]

What a disappointment is this prince

Look at him, my heart can't help but wince

He's not the type on which girls set their sights

Well, maybe if she squints and dims the lights

Once we had the hottest prince of all

Then he disappeared, he went AWOL

Now his nerdy brother must step in

How I really wish he had a chin

[ALL WOMEN]

Prince Charming was a major hunk

Truly lived up to his name, put the current prince to shame

His lips could launch a thousand ships

And those sparkling teeth and eyes, don't forget those strapping thighs

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

Prince Charming was engaged and soon to wed

[SOLO MALE]

Went to slay a dragon, now he's dead

[TOWNSPEOPLE]

Leaving his fiancé drenched in tears

[MASTER OF CEREMONIES]

And our pretty city in arrears

[QUEEN]

I've built this tribute to my dear late son

A statue of my boy in action

This world class masterpiece at last is done

Should be a lucrative attraction

[EVERYONE]

For forty-nine amazing years

Though it's unlike us to boast, every other town is toast

The fiftieth is in the bag

Though our deficit is high with more upkeep than Versailles

We mourn our prince, Prince Charming

All his manliness, his flawlessness

His yumminess, his gorgeousness

His mightiness, prince charming

[TOWNSPERSON, spoken]

Women, avert your eyes

[TOWNSPERSON, spoken]

The horror!

[TOWNSPERSON, spoken]

Is it a cock?

[TOWNSPERSON, spoken]

I'm going to be sick

[JUDGE, spoken]

This is a disgrace!

To deface Prince Charming's memorial statue with such an enormous phallus!

I will not be awarding Belville the prize
