Be Our Guest Lyrics by David Alan Grier, Martin Short, Shania Twain

Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration (Original Soundtrack)

2022

[LUMIÈRE, spoken]
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!
(sung)
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 servе
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don’t bеlieve 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!
[LUMIÈRE with Chorus]
Beef ragout
Cheese soufflé
Pie and pudding, en flambé
[LUMIÈRE]
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
[LUMIÈRE with Chorus]
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
[LUMIÈRE]
If you're stressed
It’s fine dining we suggest
[LUMIÈRE with Chorus]
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
[LUMIÈRE]
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!
[LUMIÈRE, spoken]
Ma chère Mademoiselle, it is my honor to present my favorite cup of tea, the incomparable, Mrs. Potts!
[MRS. POTTS]
Oh, it’s a guest! It's a guest!
Sake's alive, and 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!
[Chorus]
She's our guest!
[MRS. POTTS]
Oh, she's our guest!
[Chorus]
Be our guest!
[MRS. POTTS with Chorus]
Be our guest! Be our guest!
Our command is your request
[Chorus]
It's been years since we've had anybody here
[MRS. POTTS with Chorus]
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
[LUMIÈRE with Chorus]
Course by course, one by one
'Til 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
[Chorus]
Be our guest!
[LUMIÈRE]
Be our guest!
[Chorus]
Be our guest!
[LUMIÈRE]
Be our guest!
[Chorus]
Be our guest!
[LUMIÈRE]
Be our guest!
[LUMIÈRE with Chorus]
Please, be our guest!
