A Guy Like You
[ANTOINE]
Paris, the city of lovers is
Glowing this evening
True, that's because it's one fire
But still there's l'amour
Somewhere out there in the night
Her heart is also a light
And I know the guy she just might
Be burning for
A guy like you
She's never known, boy
A guy like you
Has charms a girl has rarely shown
You've got a look
That's all your own, kid
Could there be two?
[GARGOYLES]
Like you?
Mais non!
[ANTOINE]
Those other guys
That she could dangle
All look the same
From every boring point of view
You're a surprise
From every angle!
Mon dieu above!
She's gotta love
A guy like you!
[CHARLES]
A guy like you
Gets extra credit
For having, so to speak
His own unique allure
[LONI]
You see that face
You don't forget it
[GARGOYLES]
Want something new?
[ANTOINE]
That's you
[GARGOYLES]
Bien sur!
[LONI]
We all have gaped
At some Adonis
[CHARLES]
But then we crave a meal
More nourishing to chew
[ANTOINE]
And since you're a shape
Like a croissant is
[GARGOYLES]
No question of
She's gotta love
A guy like you
[LONI]
Sometimes the truth can be cruel
Cheri, But let's face it
[CHARLES]
There's no dispute
About who is the cutest of us
[GARGOYLES]
Thus…
This mademoiselle
[QUASIMODO]
My dear Miss E
[GARGOYLES]
What joy you bring her
[QUASIMODO]
So sweet and shy like
[GARGOYLES]
A fool could tell
[QUASIMODO]
I'm sure that she
[GARGOYLES]
It's why she fell
[QUASIMODO]
Would like what I like
[GARGOYLES]
For you-know-who
[QUASIMODO]
And Mon Ami
[GARGOYLES]
You ring the bell
[QUASIMODO]
I am a guy like you know who
[GARGOYLES]
You're the bell ringer!
When she wants oo-la-la
Then she wants you la-la
She will discover why
You're one prince of a guy
Who wouldn't love a guy
Like you?
[QUASIMODO]
I’ve got a lot
The rest have not
So she's gotta love
A guy like me!
