Lumiere
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 hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff
CHIP
It's delicious
Lumiere
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
Lumiere
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 out guest
Lumiere
If you're stressed, it's fine dining we suggest
Lumiere and chorus
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest
Be our guest! Be our guest
Get your worries off your chest
Let us say for your entree
We've an array; may we suggest:
Try the bread! Try the soup
When the croutons loop de loop
Ladies' chorus
It's a treat for any dinner
Don't believe me? Ask the china
Gentlemen's chorus
Singing pork! Dancing veal
What an entertaining meal
How could anyone be gloomy and depressed?
We'll make you shout "encore!"
And send us out for more
So, be our guest
Lumiere
Be our guest
Be our guest
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 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
She's our guest
She's our guest
She's our guest
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 skills
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy
Be our guest! Be our guest
Our command is your request
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 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
