Ma chere Maemoiselle, 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 around you neck, cherie
and well provide the rest
soup du jour
hot hors doeuvres
why, 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 diner here is never second best
go on, unfold your menu
take a glance then youll
be our guest
oui, our guest
be our guest
Chorus:
beef ragout
cheese souffle
pie and pudding en flumbe
well prepare and serve with flair
and culinary cabaret!
youre alone
and youre scared
but the banqeuts all prepared
no ones gloomy or compaining
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 our guest
if youre stressed
its fine dining we suggest
life is so unnerving
for a servent whos not serving
hes not whole without a soul to wait upon
as, 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 excersise, a chance to use our skills!
most days we lie around the castle
flabby, fat, and lazy
you walked in and oops-a-daisy
its a guest its a guest
sakes alive, well be blessed
wines been served and thank the lord
ive had the napkins freshly pressed
with dessert, shell want tea
and my dear that fine with me
while the cups do their soft-shoein
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! be our guest
Be our guest! be our guest!
our command is your request
its been years since weve had anybody here
and were obsessed
with you 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
