Be Our Guest

Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride

And greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight

And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair

As the dining room proudly presents, your dinner

Be our guest, be our guest, put our service to the test

Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie, and we'll provide the rest

Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres, why, we only live to serve

Try the grey stuff, it's delicious, don't believe me? Ask the dishes

They can sing, they can dance after all, sir, this is France

And a dinner here is never second best

Go on, unfold your menu, take a glance and then you'll

Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest

Beef ragu, cheese soufflé, pie and pudding, oh, flambé

We'll prepare and serve with flair, a culinary cabaret

You're alone and you're scared but the banquet's all prepared

No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining

We tell jokes, I do tricks with my fellow candle sticks

And it's all in perfect taste that you can bet, come on and lift your glass

You've won your own free pass to be our guest if your stressed

It's fine dining we suggest, be our guest, be our guest, be our guest

Life is so unnerving for a servant who's not serving

He's not whole without a soul to wait upon

Ah, those good old days when we were useful

Suddenly those good old days are gone

Ten years we've been rusting, needing so much more than dusting

Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills

Most days we just lay around the castle, flabby, fat, and lazy

You walked in and oops-a-daisy

Be our guest, be our guest,  our command is your request

It's been years since we've had anybody here and we're obsessed

With your meal, with your ease, yes indeed, we aim to please

While the candlelight's still glowing, let us help you, we'll keep going

Course by course, one by one till you shout, enough, I'm done

Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest

Tonight you'll prop your feet but for now, let's eat up

Be our guest (Be our guest)

Be our guest (Be our guest)

Be our guest (Be our guest)

Please, be our guest
