Be Our Guest

Lumiere~
Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you here tonight. And now, we invite me to relax. Let us pull ulp 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 'round your neck, cherie
And we provide the rest.
Soup du jour!
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!
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 on 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

Mugs~
And it's all in perfect taste.
That you can bet!

Chorus~
Come on and raise your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be our guest!

Lumiere~
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest!

Chorus~
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!

Lumiere~
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 excercise, 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!

Mrs. Potts~
It's a guest!
It's a guest!
Sakes alive, well, I'll be blessed!
With dessert, she'll want tea
And my dear, that's fine with me
While the cups to 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

Chorus~
She's our guest!

Mrs. Potts~
She's our guest!

Chorus~
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...

Lumiere & 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!
Please, be out guest!
