Be Our Guest (feat. Éric Cantona)

Ma chère 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 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, 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

Beef ragout

Cheese soufflé

Pie and pudding, en flambé

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

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

It's a treat for any dinner

Don't believe me? Ask the china

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

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

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

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
