Be Our Guest Lyrics

Be Our Guest Song Lyrics

---

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, 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!

LUMIERE AND CHORUS
Beef ragout
Cheese soufflé, Pie and pudding "en flambe"

LUMIERE
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

CHORUS
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

LUMIERE
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest

CHORUS
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!

LUMIERE
Life it so unnerving
For a servant who's not serving.
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ahh 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 skill
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat, and lazy
You walked in and oopsie daisy

MRSPOTTS.

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

CHORUS
We've got a lot to do!

MRS POTTS.
Is it one lump or two?
For you, our guest!

CHORUS

Be our guest

MRS POTTS.

Be our guest!

CHORUS

Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest

CHORUS

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.
'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!
