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, chérie

And we'll provide the rest

Soupe du jour

Hot hors d'œuvre

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 ragoût

Cheese soufflé

Pie and pudding "en 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 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

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, hey Cogsworth?

Suddenly those good old days are gone

Too long 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 been 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

'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

Please, be our guest
