Be Our Guest - Jerry Orbach

[00:03.840] Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride
[00:06.960]
[00:07.530]And greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight.
[00:10.770]
[00:13.430]And now we invite you to relax
[00:16.300]Let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents - your dinner!
[00:22.30]
[00:24.530]Be our guest!
[00:27.460]
[00:28.80]Be our guest!
[00:29.200]Put our service to the test
[00:31.280]Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
[00:33.719]And we provide the rest
[00:36.49]Soup du jour
[00:37.369]Hot hors d'oeuvres
[00:37.939]Why, we only live to serve
[00:39.889]
[00:40.639]Try the grey stuff
[00:42.499]It's delicious!
[00:43.659]
[00:44.209]Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
[00:45.769]They can sing
[00:46.769]They can dance
[00:47.339]After all, Miss, this is France
[00:49.589]And a dinner here is never second best
[00:52.609]
[00:53.729]Go on, unfold your menu
[00:56.479]Take a glance and then you'll
[00:58.969]Be our guest
[01:00.29]Oui, our guest
[01:01.19]Be our guest
[01:01.829]
[01:03.19]Beef ragout
[01:04.599]Cheese souffle
[01:05.209]Pie and pudding en flambe
[01:07.659]We'll prepare and serve with flair
[01:09.779]A culinary cabaret!
[01:10.899]
[01:11.649]You're alone
[01:12.269]
[01:12.829]And you're scared
[01:14.19]But the banquet's all prepared
[01:16.19]No one's gloomy or complaining
[01:18.269]While the flatware's entertaining
[01:19.319]
[01:20.319]We tell jokes
[01:21.569]I do tricks
[01:22.569]With my fellow candlesticks
[01:23.829]And it's all in perfect taste
[01:27.399]That you can bet
[01:27.949]
[01:28.569]Come on and lift your glass
[01:30.638]You've won your own free pass
[01:32.879]To be our guest
[01:34.309]If you're stressed
[01:34.349]
[01:35.589]It's fine dining we suggest!
[01:37.219]Be our guest!
[01:38.39]Be our guest!
[01:39.429]our Be guest!
[01:40.638]
[01:43.399]Life is so unnerving
[01:44.569]
[01:45.499]For a servant who's not serving
[01:47.209]
[01:47.959]He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
[01:51.489]
[01:53.9]Ah, those good old days when we were useful
[01:56.309]
[01:57.749]Suddenly those good old days are gone.
[02:00.589]
[02:02.399]Ten years we've been rusting
[02:04.769]Needing so much more than dusting
[02:07.269]Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
[02:10.269]
[02:12.638]Most days we just lay around the castle
[02:15.510]
[02:16.560]Flabby, fat and lazy
[02:18.940]You walked in and oops-a-daisy!
[02:20.920]It's a guest!
[02:21.970]It's a guest!
[02:23.350]Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed!
[02:24.670]
[02:25.420]Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
[02:27.360]I've had the napkins freshly pressed
[02:28.860]With dessert, she'll want tea
[02:30.300]And my dear that's fine with me
[02:32.310]While the cups do their soft-shoein'
[02:34.220]I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
[02:36.280]I'll get warm
[02:37.400]Piping hot
[02:38.270]Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
[02:40.20]Clean it up! We want the company impressed
[02:42.270]
[02:43.560]We've got a lot to do!
[02:45.560]Is it one lump or two?
[02:47.440]For you, our guest!
[02:48.870]She's our guest!
[02:50.679]She's our guest!
[02:51.429]
[02:52.50]She's our guest!
[02:53.490]Be our guest
[02:54.800]Be our guest
[02:56.590]Our command is your request
[02:57.970]It's ten years since we've had anybody here
[02:59.780]And we're obsessed!
[03:00.720]With your meal
[03:01.660]With your ease
[03:02.590]Yes, indeed, we aim to please
[03:03.970]While the candlelight's still glowing
[03:05.700]Let us help you
[03:06.880]
[03:07.710]We'll keep going...
[03:09.390]
[03:10.510]Course by course
[03:14.400]
[03:14.760]One by one
[03:16.400]
[03:16.880]'Til you shout, Enough! I'm done!
[03:18.620]
[03:19.700]Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
[03:22.610]
[03:23.300]Tonight you'll prop your feet up
[03:25.800]But for now, let's eat up
[03:27.480]Be our guest!
[03:28.860]Be our guest!
[03:29.820]
[03:30.570]Be our guest!
[03:31.620]
[03:32.300]Please, be our guest!
