Lyrics

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, cherie
 And we'll provide the rest
 Soup du jour
 Hot hors d'œuvres
 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
 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! 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 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, and 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 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!
 (Be our guest)
 Be our guest! Be our guest!
 Our command is your request
 It's been 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
 '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!
 Be our guest!
 Be our guest!
 Please, be our guest!
