Be Our Guest Lyrics - Emma Thompson

Ma chere Maemoiselle, 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 around you neck, cherie 

and well provide the rest 

soup du jour 

hot hors doeuvres 

why, we only live to serve 

try the grey stuff 

its delicious 

dont believe me? ask the dishes 

they can sing, they can dance 

after all, Miss, this is france 

and diner here is never second best 

go on, unfold your menu 

take a glance then youll 

be our guest 

oui, our guest 

be our guest 

Chorus: 

beef ragout 

cheese souffle 

pie and pudding en flumbe 

well prepare and serve with flair 

and culinary cabaret! 

youre alone 

and youre scared 

but the banqeuts all prepared 

no ones gloomy or compaining 

while the flatwares entertaining 

we tell jokes! i do tricks 

with my fellow candlesticks 

and its all in perfect taste 

that you can bet 

come on and lift your glass 

youve won your own free pass 

to be our guest 

if youre stressed 

its fine dining we suggest 

life is so unnerving 

for a servent whos not serving 

hes not whole without a soul to wait upon 

as, those good old days when we were useful... 

suddenly those good old days are gone 

ten years weve been rusting 

needing so much more than dusting 

needing excersise, a chance to use our skills! 

most days we lie around the castle 

flabby, fat, and lazy 

you walked in and oops-a-daisy 

its a guest its a guest 

sakes alive, well be blessed 

wines been served and thank the lord 

ive had the napkins freshly pressed 

with dessert, shell want tea 

and my dear that fine with me 

while the cups do their soft-shoein 

ill be bubbling, ill be brewing 

ill get warm, piping hot 

heavens sakes! is that a spot 

clean it up! we want the company impressed 

weve got a lot to do 

is it one lump or two 

for you our guest 

shes our guest 

shes our guest 

shes our guest 

be our guest! be our guest! be our guest 

Be our guest! be our guest! 

our command is your request 

its been years since weve had anybody here 

and were obsessed 

with you meal, with your ease 

yes, indeed, we aim to please 

while the candlelights still glowing 

let us help you, well keep going 

course by course, one by one 

til you shout,enough im done 

then well sing you off to sleep as you digest 

tonight youll prop your feet up 

but for now, lets eat up 

be our guest 

be our guest 

be our guest 

please, be our guest
