Lyrics: Be Our Guest

Be our guest
Be our guest
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin round your neck cherie
And we 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

Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding en flambe
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 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 out 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
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

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 shoeing
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
She's our guest

Be our guest
Be our guest
Our command is your request
It's ten years since we 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 up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Please, be our guest
