LUMIERE: Ma chere mademoiselle, 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
presentsyour 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 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!

LUMIERE AND CHORUS
Beef ragout, cheese souffle
Pie and pudding en flambe

LUMIERE
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

BEERSTEINS
Und it's all in perfect taste that you can bet

LUMIERE AND CHORUS
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass,
to be our guest

LUMIERE
If you're stressed, it's fine dining we suggest!

LUMIERE AND 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 exercise, a chance to use our skill
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!
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
Heavens 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? CHORUS
For you, our guest She's our guest!
She's our guest! Be our guest!

CHORUS
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 AND CHORUS
Course by course, one by one!
'Till 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
