Lyrics of Be Our Guest by Ewan McGregor,Emma Thompson
verse
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
verse
Your dinner
verse
Be our guest
Be our guest
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, chérie
And we'll provide the rest
verse
Soupe du jour
Hot hors d'œuvre
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
verse
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
verse
Beef ragoût
Cheese soufflé
Pie and pudding "en flambé"
We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret
verse
You're alone
And you're scared
But the banquet's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining
verse
We tell jokes
I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks
And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
verse
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
hook
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
verse
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, hey Cogsworth?
Suddenly those good old days are gone
verse
Too long 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
verse
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
verse
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
verse
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?
hook
She's our guest
She's our guest
She's our guest
verse
Be our guest
Be our guest
Our command is your request
It's been years since we had anybody here
And we're obsessed
verse
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
verse
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
outro
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Please, be our guest
Writer(s): Howard Elliott Ashman, Alan Irwin Menken
