Be Our Guest lyrics
LUMIERE
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 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 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!
LUMIERE AND CHORUS
Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"
LUMIERE
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
CHORUS
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 out guest
LUMIERE
If you re stressed
It s fine dining we suggest
CHORUS
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
LUMIERE
Life it so unnerving
For a servent whos not seving
he s not whole without a soul to wait upon
ahh those good ol days when we were usefull
suddenly those good ol days are gone
10 years we ve been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing excercising a chance to use our skeem
Most days we just lay around the castle
Can t be fat and lazy you walked in and oopsiedaisy
MRS. POTTS
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 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
CHORUS
We ve got a lot to do!
MRS. POTTS
Is it one lump or two?
For you, our guest!
CHORUS
She s our guest!
MRS. POTTS
She s our guest!
CHORUS
She s our guest!
Be our guest! Be our guest!
Be our guest!
LUMIERE
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!
CHORUS
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!
