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’œuvres,
Why, we only live to serve.

Try the gray 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!

Be our guest! Be our guest!
Get your worries off your chest.
Let us say for your entrée
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 diner.

Don’t believe me? Ask the china!
Singing pork! Dancing veal!
What an entertaining meal.
How could anyone be gloomy or depressed?

We’ll make you shout “Encore!”
And send you us out for more,
So be our guest,
Be our guest,
Be our guest!!!
