Be Our Guest
[Verse 1]
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 bеst
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and thеn you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest

[Verse 2]
Beef ragout
Cheese soufflé
Pie and pudding, en flambé
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
You'll be our guest, be our guest, be our guest
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
It's a guest, it's a guest
Sake’s alive, well I'll be blessed
Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
I've had the napkins freshly pressed
With dessert, you'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
Be our guest, be our guest

[Verse 4]
Course by course, one by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
Come on you'll prop your feet up
For now, let's eat up
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Won't you please, be our guest?
