Lumiere:<br>
Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride <br>
and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight.<br>
And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a <br>
chair as the dining room proudly presents - <br>
your dinner!<br>
<br>
Be our guest! Be our guest!<br>
Put our service to the test<br>
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie<br>
And we'll provide the rest<br>
Soup du jour<br>
Hot hors d'oeuvres<br>
Why, we only live to serve<br>
Try the grey stuff<br>
Chip:<br>
It's delicious<br>
Lumiere:<br>
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes<br>
They can sing, they can dance<br>
After all, Miss, this is France<br>
And a dinner here is never second best<br>
Go on, unfold your menu<br>
Take a glance and then you'll<br>
Be our guest<br>
Oui, our guest<br>
Be our guest!<br>
Lumiere and Chorus:<br>
Beef ragout<br>
Cheese souffle<br>
Pie and pudding "en flambe"<br>
Lumiere:<br>
We'll prepare and serve with flair<br>
A culinary cabaret!<br>
You're alone<br>
And you're scared<br>
But the banquet's all prepared<br>
No one's gloomy or complaining<br>
While the flatware's entertaining<br>
We tell jokes! I do tricks<br>
With my fellow candlesticks<br>
Chorus:<br>
And it's all in perfect taste<br>
That you can bet<br>
Come on and lift your glass<br>
You've won your own free pass<br>
To be out guest<br>
Lumiere:<br>
If you're stressed<br>
It's fine dining we suggest<br>
<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!<br>
Get your worries off your chest<br>
Let us say for your entree<br>
We've an array; may we suggest:<br>
Try the bread! Try the soup!<br>
When the croutons loop de loop<br>
It's a treat for any dinner<br>
Don't belive me? Ask the china<br>
Singing pork! Dancing veal!<br>
What an entertaining meal!<br>
How could anyone be gloomy and depressed?<br>
We'll make you shout "encore!"<br>
And send us out for more<br>
So, be our guest!<br>
Lumiere:<br>
Be our guest!<br>
Chorus:<br>
Be our guest!<br>
Mrs Potts:<br>
It's a guest! It's a guest!<br>
Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed!<br>
Wine's been poured and thank the Lord<br>
I've had the napkins freshly pressed<br>
With dessert, she'll want tea<br>
And my dear that's fine with me<br>
While the cups do their soft-shoein'<br>
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing<br>
I'll get warm, piping hot<br>
Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?<br>
Clean it up! We want the company impressed<br>
Chorus:<br>
We've got a lot to do!<br>
Mrs Potts:<br>
Is it one lump or two?<br>
For you, our guest!<br>
Chorus:<br>
She's our guest!<br>
Mrs Potts:<br>
She's our guest!<br>
Chorus:<br>
She's our guest!<br>
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!<br>
Lumiere:<br>
Life is so unnerving<br>
For a servant who's not serving<br>
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon<br>
Ah, those good old days when we were useful...<br>
Suddenly those good old days are gone<br>
Ten years we've been rusting<br>
Needing so much more than dusting<br>
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills!<br>
Most days we just lay around the castle<br>
Flabby, fat and lazy<br>
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!<br>
Chorus:<br>
Be our guest! Be our guest!<br>
Our command is your request<br>
It's been years since we've had anybody here<br>
And we're obsessed<br>
With your meal, with your ease<br>
Yes, indeed, we aim to please<br>
While the candlelight's still glowing<br>
Let us help you, We'll keep going<br>
Course by course, one by one<br>
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"<br>
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest<br>
Tonight you'll prop your feet up<br>
But for now, let's eat up<br>
Be our guest!<br>
Be our guest!<br>
Be our guest!<br>
Please, be our guest!<br>
 <br>
