Be Our Guest Lyrics by Angela Lansbury, Jerry Orbach, The Chorus of Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture)

1991

[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

[LUMIÈRE]
Be our guest, be our guest
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, chérie
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
Oui, our guest, be our guest

[LUMIÈRE & CHO​RUS]
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

[CHO​RUS]
Und it's all in perfect taste, that you can bet

[LUMIÈRE & CHO​RUS]
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 & CHO​RUS]
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

[MRS. POTTS]
It's a guest, it's a guest
Sake's 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 bubblin', I'll be brewin'
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

[CHO​RUS]
She's our guest

[MRS. POTTS]
She's our guest

[CHO​RUS]
Be our guest
Be our guest, be our guest
Our command is your request
It's ten 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

[LUMIÈRE & CHO​RUS]
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
Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest
Please be our guest
