Alan Menken - Be Our Guest

Ma chere madmiselle,

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 provide the rest

Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve!
Try the gray 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 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

Und 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

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 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 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-shoein'
I'll be bubblin'

I'll be brewin'

I'll get warm, piping hot
Heavens sake, 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
Be our guest

Be our guest

Be our guest

Our command is your request
It's ten 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
'Till 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
