Be Our Guest
[Verse 1: Genevieve Goings]
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

Cheese soufflé
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 (Ooo) they can dance (Ahh)
After all, Miss, this is France (Ooo-la-la)
And a dinner here is never sеcond best
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glancе and then you'll
Be our guest (Ah-ha)
Oui, our guest (Ooo)
Be our guest (Ah-ha)

[Verse 2: Genevieve Goings & Constantine "DC" Abramson, Both]
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
I tell jokes I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks

And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet (That's right)

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

[Bridge: Genevieve Goings & Constantine "DC" Abramson]
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
Ah, ten years we've been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Exercise, a chance to use our skills
Most days we just sit around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy
[Verse 3: Genevieve Goings & Constantine "DC" Abramson, Both]
It's a guest, it's a guest
Sake's alive, well I'll be blessed
Juice'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!
Be our guest!

[Spoken: Genevieve Goings]
Ha, ha, ha
Now you know you're not supposed to play with your food
I suppose we could dance with our food
Who feels like dancing? Who? You? Come on
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, woo

[Verse 4: Genevieve Goings & Constantine "DC" Abramson, Both]
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest
Do-do-do-do-do
Ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Be our guest

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
Please be our guest

[Outro, spoken: Genevieve Goings & Constantine "DC" Abramson]
Bon appetit
