0:03Ma chere Mademoiselle it is with deepest pride
0:07And greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight
0:11And now we invite you to relax
0:14Let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents - your dinner
0:22Be our guest
0:25Be our guest
0:27Put our service to the test
0:29Tie your napkin 'round your neck cherie
0:31And we provide the rest
0:33Soup du jour
0:35Hot hors d'oeuvres
0:35Why we only live to serve
0:38Try the grey stuff
0:40It's delicious
0:42Don't believe me Ask the dishes
0:43They can sing
0:44They can dance
0:45After all Miss this is France
0:47And a dinner here is never second best
0:51Go on unfold your menu
0:54Take a glance and then you'll
0:56Be our guest
0:57Oui our guest
0:58Be our guest
1:00Beef ragout
1:02Cheese souffle
1:03Pie and pudding en flambe
1:05We'll prepare and serve with flair
1:07A culinary cabaret
1:09You're alone
1:10And you're scared
1:11But the banquet's all prepared
1:13No one's gloomy or complaining
1:16While the flatware's entertaining
1:18We tell jokes
1:19I do tricks
1:20With my fellow candlesticks
1:21And it's all in perfect taste
1:25That you can bet
1:26Come on and lift your glass
1:28You've won your own free pass
1:30To be our guest
1:32If you're stressed
1:33It's fine dining we suggest
1:35Be our guest
1:35Be our guest
1:37Be our guest
1:41Life is so unnerving
1:43For a servant who's not serving
1:45He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
1:50Ah those good old days when we were useful
1:55Suddenly those good old days are gone
2:00Ten years we've been rusting
2:02Needing so much more than dusting
2:05Needing exercise a chance to use our skills
2:10Most days we just lay around the castle
2:14Flabby fat and lazy
2:16You walked in and oops-a-daisy
2:18It's a guest
2:19It's a guest
2:21Sakes alive well I'll be blessed
2:23Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
2:25I've had the napkins freshly pressed
2:26With dessert she'll want tea
2:28And my dear that's fine with me
2:30While the cups do their soft-shoein'
2:32I'll be bubbling I'll be brewing
2:34I'll get warm
2:35Piping hot
2:36Heaven's sakes Is that a spot
2:37Clean it up We want the company impressed
2:41We've got a lot to do
2:43Is it one lump or two
2:45For you our guest
2:46She's our guest
2:48She's our guest
2:49She's our guest
2:51Be our guest
2:52Be our guest
2:54Our command is your request
2:55It's ten years since we've had anybody here
2:57And we're obsessed
2:58With your meal
2:59With your ease
3:00Yes indeed we aim to please
3:01While the candlelight's still glowing
3:03Let us help you
3:05We'll keep going
3:08Course by course
3:12One by one
3:14'Til you shout Enough I'm done
3:17Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
3:21Tonight you'll prop your feet up
3:23But for now let's eat up
3:25Be our guest
3:26Be our guest
3:28Be our guest
3:30Please be our guest
