Be Our Guest
[CARLOS, spoken]
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: your dinner

[CARLOS]
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 servе
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don't bеlieve me? Ask the dishes
They can sing, they can dance
After all, Miss, this is France
And the 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

[CARLOS]
We tell jokes, haha, I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks
[Chorus]
And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet

[CARLOS with Chorus]
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be our guest

[CARLOS]
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest

[CARLOS with Chorus]
Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest

[CARLOS]
Life is so unnerving
For a servant who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy

[KOURTNEY]
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, she'll want tea
And my dear, that's fine with me
While the cups do their soft-shoein'
I'll be bubblin', I'll be brewin'
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
[Chorus]
She's our guest

[KOURTNEY]
She's our guest

[CARLOS with Chorus]
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
