Alan Menken - Be Our Guest

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 roomproudly presents...
your dinner.

Be our guest. be our guest
Put our service to the test.
tie your napkin 'round your neck, chrie
and we provide the rest!

Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres.
why we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, it's delidious
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. be our guest. be our guest!

Beef ragout, cheese souffle.
Pie and pudding en flambe!
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-- be our guest. be our guest!

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

Be our guest, be our guest 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 dayswhen we were useful
Suddenly, those goodold days are gone

Ten years we've been rusting
Needing so much morethan dusting
Needing exercise
A chance to use our skills
Most days we justlay 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 sake, is that a spot?
Clean it up, we wantthe 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 ten years sincewe've had anybody here
And we're obsessed

With your meal, with your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight'sstill glowing
Let us help you,we'll keep going

Course... by... course
One by one
Till you shout,"Enough, I'm done!"
Then we'll sing youoff to sleep as you digest
Tonight you'll propyour feet up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest, be our guest Be our guest
Please be our guest!
