Be Our Guest

Ma chère 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, Miss, 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, oui, our guest

Be our guest!

We tell jokes! I do tricks

With my fellow candlesticks

(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 you're 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

Most days we just lay around the castle

Flabby, fat and lazy

You walked in and oops-a-daisy!

It's a guest! It's a guest!

Sakes alive, well, I'll be blessed!

Wine's been poured, and thank the Lord

I've had the napkins freshly pressed

With dessert, she'll want tea

And, my dear, that's fine with me

While the cups do their soft-shoein'

I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing!

I'll get warm, piping hot

Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?

Clean it up!

We want the company impressed

We've got a lot to do!

Is it one lump or two?

For you, our guest (she's our guest)

She's our guest!

Course by course, one by one

'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"

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

Tonight you'll prop your feet up

But for now, let's eat up

Be our guest, be our guest!

Be our guest!

Please, be our guest!
