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 we’ll provide the rest
soup du jour
hot hors d’oeuvres
why, we only live to serve
try the grey stuff
its delicious
don’t 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 you’ll
be our guest
oui, our guest
be our guest
Chorus:
beef ragout
cheese souffle
pie and pudding “en flumbe”
we’ll prepare and serve with flair
and culinary cabaret!
you’re alone
and you’re scared
but the banqeut’s all prepared
no one’s gloomy or compaining
while the flatware’s 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
you’ve won your own free pass
to be our guest
if you’re stressed
it’s fine dining we suggest
life is so unnerving
for a servent who’s not serving
he’s 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 we’ve 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
it’s a guest it’s a guest
sakes alive, we’ll be blessed
wine’s been served and thank the lord
i’ve had the napkins freshly pressed
with dessert, she’ll want tea
and my dear that 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
she’s our guest
she’s our guest
be our guest! be our guest! be our guest
Be our guest! be our guest!
our command is your request
it’s been years since we’ve had anybody here
and we’re obsessed
with you meal, with your ease
yes, indeed, we aim to please
while the candlelights still glowing
let us help you, we’ll keep going
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
