"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 presents
Your dinner!"
Be our guest, be our guest
Put our service to [C7]the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we'll provide the ɾest
Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to [C7]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 [Bm]then you'll
Be our guest oui, our guest
Be our guest
Beef ɾagout, cheese soufflé
Pie and [Bm]pudding, on [C7]flambé
We'll prepare and [Bm]serve with flair
A culinary cabaret
You're alone and [Bm]you're scared
But the banquet's all [Em]prepared
No one's gloomy [A]or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining
We tell jokes, I do tɾicks
With my [A]fellow candlesticks
And it's all [Em]in perfect taste that you [A7can bet
Come on [C7]and [Bm]lift your glass
You've won [C7]your own free pass
To be [Am]our guest If you're stɾessed
It's fine dining we suggest
Be our guest, be [Am]our guest, be [Am]our guest
Life is so unnerving
For a servant who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to [C7]wait upon
Ah, those good old days when we were useful (hey Cogsworth)
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Too long [Am]we've been ɾusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing exercise, a chance to [C7]use our skills!
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and [Bm]lazy
You walked in and [Bm]oops-a-daisy!
It's a guest, it's a guest
Sake's alive, well I'll be [Am]blessed!
Wine's been poured and [Bm]thank the Lord
I've had the napkins freshly pressed
With dessert, she'll want tea
And my [A]dear that's fine with me
While the cups do their soft-shoein'
I'll be [Am]bubbling, I'll be [Am]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 [Fm7]a lot to [C7]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 [Am]our guest!
Our command [Bm]is your ɾequest
It's been years since we've had anybody here
And we're obsessed
With your meal, with your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to [C7]please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you, we'll keep going
Course by course, one by one
'Til you [A7shout, "enough I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you [A7off to [C7]sleep as you [A7digest
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for [Dm7]now, let's eat up
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Please, be [Am]our guest
