Intro

 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 grey 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!

Ah

 Be our guest! Be our guest! Get your worries off your chest

 Let us say for your entree

 We've an array; may we suggest:

 Try the bread! Try the soup!

 When the croutons loop de loop

 It's a treat for any dinner

 Don't believe me? Ask the china

Singing pork! Dancing veal!

 What an entertaining meal!

 How could anyone be gloomy or depressed?

 We'll make you shout "encore!"

 And send us out for more

 So, be our guest!

 Be our guest!

 Be our guest!

Ah

Ah

 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

 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! 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!

 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!
