| 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 the 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
|
| We tell jokes, haha, 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| She’s our guest
|
| She’s our guest
|
| 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 |
