Main Title: Prologue, Pt. 1 lyrics
by Alan Menken
[NARRATOR, spoken]
Once upon a time, in the hidden heart of France, a handsome young prince lived in a beautiful castle
Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was selfish and unkind.
[COGSWORTH, spoken]
Master, it's time!
[NARRATOR, spoken]
He taxed the village to fill his castle with most beautiful objects
[LUMIERE, spoken]
Oui, maître
[NARRATOR, spoken]
And his parties with the most beautiful people
