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 provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors doeuvres
hy, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, its delicious
Dont 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 youll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest
Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding 'en flambe'
Well prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret
Youre alone
And youre scared
But the banquets all prepared
No ones gloomy or complaining
While the flatwares entertaining
We tell jokes
I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks
And its all in perfect taste
That you can bet
Come on and lift your glass
Youve won your own free pass
To be out guest
If youre stressed
Its fine dining we suggest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Life is so unnerving
For a servat whos not serving
Hes 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 weve 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
Its a guest
Its a guest
Sakes alive, well Ill be blessed
Wines been poured and thank the Lord
Ive had the napkins freshly pressed
With dessert
Shell want tea
And my dear thats fine with me
While the cups do their soft shoeing
Ill be bubbling, Ill be brewing
Ill get warm
Piping hot
Heavens sakes! Is that a spot
Clean it up! We want the company impressed
Weve got a lot to do
Is it one lump or two
For you, our guest
Shes our guest
Shes our guest
Shes our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Our command is your request
Its ten years since we had anybody here
And were obsessed
With your meal
With your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelights still glowing
Let us help you
Well keep going
Course by course
One by one
Til you shout, 'Enough! Im done!'
Then well sing you off to sleep as you digest
Tonight youll prop your feet up
But for now, lets eat up
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Please, be our guest
