Ma chere Mademoiselle

it is with deepest pride

and greatest pleasure

that we welcome

you tonight

And now we invite you

to relax let's 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 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

Be our guest

be our guest

Beef ragout

cheese souffle

pie and pudding

"en 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

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 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!

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!

Our command

is your request

It's ten years

since we 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

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 gue.......st
