Lyrics

[00:02.67] Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride
[00:06.76] and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight
[00:10.46] And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a
[00:14.52] chair as the dining room proudly presents
[00:18.86] your dinner!
[00:21.74] Be our guest
[00:25.11] Be our guest
[00:26.55] Put our service to the test
[00:28.47] Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
[00:31.20] And we provide the rest
[00:33.62] Soup du jour
[00:34.72] Hot hors d'oeuvres
[00:36.11] hy, we only live to serve
[00:37.93] Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
[00:39.77] Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
[00:42.47] They can sing
[00:43.86] They can dance
[00:45.20] After all, Miss, this is France
[00:47.10] And a dinner here is never second best
[00:51.49] Go on, unfold your menu
[00:53.52] Take a glance and then you'll
[00:55.86] Be our guest
[00:57.26] Oui, our guest
[00:58.32] Be our guest
[01:00.63] Beef ragout
[01:01.74] Cheese souffle
[01:02.92] Pie and pudding "en flambe"
[01:04.73] We'll prepare and serve with flair
[01:06.83] A culinary cabaret
[01:08.70] You're alone
[01:10.19] And you're scared
[01:11.45] But the banquet's all prepared
[01:13.43] No one's gloomy or complaining
[01:15.56] While the flatware's entertaining
[01:17.64] We tell jokes
[01:18.95] I do tricks
[01:20.20] With my fellow candlesticks
[01:21.74] And it's all in perfect taste
[01:23.94] That you can bet
[01:26.14] Come on and lift your glass
[01:28.18] You've won your own free pass
[01:30.33] To be out guest
[01:31.37] If you're stressed
[01:32.66] It's fine dining we suggest
[01:34.72] Be our guest
[01:35.88] Be our guest
[01:37.10] Be our guest
[01:40.22] Life is so unnerving
[01:43.23] For a servat who's not serving
[01:45.26] He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
[01:50.22] Ah, those good old days when we were useful
[01:55.10] Suddenly those good old days are gone
[01:59.78] Ten years we've been rusting
[02:02.50] Needing so much more than dusting
[02:04.62] Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
[02:09.26] Most days we just lay around the castle
[02:13.84] Flabby, fat and lazy
[02:16.31] You walked in and oops-a-daisy
[02:18.19] It's a guest
[02:19.21] It's a guest
[02:20.33] Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed
[02:21.91] Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
[02:23.83] I've had the napkins freshly pressed
[02:25.88] With dessert
[02:26.92] She'll want tea
[02:28.00] And my dear that's fine with me
[02:29.65] While the cups do their soft shoeing
[02:31.75] I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
[02:33.55] I'll get warm
[02:34.59] Piping hot
[02:35.66] Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot
[02:37.21] Clean it up! We want the company impressed
[02:40.99] We've got a lot to do
[02:42.93] Is it one lump or two
[02:44.90] For you, our guest
[02:46.30] She's our guest
[02:47.12] She's our guest
[02:48.50] She's our guest
[02:49.14] Be our guest
[02:50.14] Be our guest
[02:51.70] Our command is your request
[02:52.70] It's ten years since we had anybody here
[02:55.40] And we're obsessed
[02:56.62] With your meal
[02:57.63] With your ease
[02:58.66] Yes, indeed, we aim to please
[03:00.46] While the candlelight's still glowing
[03:03.33] Let us help you
[03:05.20] We'll keep going
[03:07.89] Course by course
[03:11.99] One by one
[03:14.55] 'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
[03:17.26] Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
[03:21.50] Tonight you'll prop your feet up
[03:23.23] But for now, let's eat up
[03:24.95] Be our guest
[03:27.20] Be our guest
[03:28.87] Be our guest
[03:29.81] Please, be our guest
