Be our guest, be our guest 00:41

Put our service to the test 00:46

Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie 00:49

And we provide the rest 00:52

Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres 00:55

Why, we only live to serve 00:57

Try the gray stuff, it's delicious 00:59

Don't believe me? Ask the dishes 01:01

They can sing, they can dance 01:09

After all, Miss, this is France 01:11

And a dinner here is never second best 01:14

Go on, unfold your menu 01:18

Take a glance and then 01:20

You'll be our guest 01:23

Oui, our guest, be our guest 01:24

Beef ragout, cheese souffle 01:32

Pie and pudding en flambe 01:34

We'll prepare and serve with flair 01:36

A culinary cabaret 01:38

You're alone and you're scared 01:41

But the banquet's all prepared 01:43

No one's gloomy or complaining 01:45

While the flatware's entertaining 01:47

We tell jokes, I do tricks 01:49

With my fellow candlesticks 01:51

Und it's all in perfect taste that you can bet 01:53

Come on and lift your glass 01:57

You've won your own free pass 02:00

To be our guest 02:02

If you're stressed 02:03

It's fine dining, we suggest 02:04

Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest 02:06

Life is so unnerving 02:13

For a servant who's not serving 02:16

He's not whole without a soul to wait upon 02:19

Ah, those good old days 02:23

When we were useful 02:26

Suddenly those good old days are gone 02:29

Ten years, we've been rusting 02:35

Needing so much more than dusting 02:38

Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills 02:41

Most days we just lay around the castle 02:44

Flabby, fat and lazy 02:52

You walked in and oops-a-daisy 02:54

It's a guest, it's a guest 02:57

Sakes alive, well, I'll be blessed 02:58

Wine's been poured and thank the Lord 03:00

I've had the napkins freshly pressed 03:02

With dessert, she'll want tea 03:05

And, my dear, that's fine with me 03:07

While the cups do their soft-shoein' 03:09

I'll be bubblin', I'll be brewin' 03:11

I'll get warm, piping hot 03:22

Heaven's sake, is that a spot? 03:25

Clean it up, we want the company impressed 03:28

We've got a lot to do 03:32

Is it one lump or two? 03:34

For you, our guest, she's our guest 03:36

She's our guest, she's our guest 03:38

Be our guest, be our guest 03:40

Our command is your request 03:42

It's ten years since we've had anybody here 03:45

And we're obsessed 03:47

With your meal, with your ease 03:49

Yes, indeed, we aim to please 03:53

While the candlelight's still glowing 03:57

Let us help you, we'll keep going 04:02

Course by course, one by one 04:08

'Til you shout, "Enough, I'm done" 04:16

Then we'll sing you off to sleep 04:19

As you digest 04:21

Tonight, you'll prop your feet up 04:23

But for now, let's eat up 04:25

Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest 04:27

Please be our guest 04:31

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Be our guest, be our guest

Put our service to the test

Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie

And we provide the rest

Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres

Why, we only live to serve

Try the gray stuff, it's delicious

Don't believe me? Ask the dishes

They can sing, they can dance

After all, Miss, this is France

And a 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

Beef ragout, cheese souffle

Pie and pudding en flambe

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

We tell jokes, I do tricks

With my fellow candlesticks

Und it's 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

Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest

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

Ten years, we've been rusting

Needing so much more than dusting

Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills

Most days we just lay around the castle

Flabby, fat and lazy

You walked in and oops-a-daisy

It's a guest, it's a guest

Sakes 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 sake, 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

Our command is your request

It's ten years since we've had anybody here

And we're obsessed

With your meal, with your ease

Yes, indeed, we aim to please

While the candlelight's 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
