Angela Lansbury; Jerry Orbach Be Our Guest [From Beauty and the Beast] Lyrics

Lumiere:
Ma chere mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride
And greatest pleasure that 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 'round your neck cherie
And we'll provide the rest

Soup du jour
Hot heures 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 the 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 ragu
Cheese soufle
Pie and pudding en flambe
We'll prepart 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
And 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 ol' days
When we were useful
Suddenly those good ol' 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 oopsy 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 tee
And my dear that's fine with me
While the cups do their soft shoeing
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing

I'll get warm, piping hot
Heaven 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

Be our guest
Be our guest
Our demand is your ruquest
It's been 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 going
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 of 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
Pleast be our guest
