Be Our Guest Song Lyrics
Lumiere:
Ma chere 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
Chip:
It's delicious
Lumiere:
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!
Lumiere and Chorus:
Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"
Lumiere:
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
Chorus:
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 out guest
Lumiere:
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest
Chorus:
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
Get your worries off your chest
Let us say for your entree
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 dinner
Don't belive me? Ask the china
Singing pork! Dancing veal!
What an entertaining meal!
How could anyone be gloomy and depressed?
We'll make you shout "encore!"
And send us out for more
So, be our guest!
Lumiere:
Be our guest!
Chorus:
Be our guest!
Lumiere:
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!
Sakes 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 bubbling, I'll be brewing
I'll get warm, piping hot
Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
Clean it up! We want the company impressed
Chorus:
We've got a lot to do!
Mrs Potts:
Is it one lump or two?
For you, our guest!
Chorus:
She's our guest!
Mrs Potts:
She's our guest!
Chorus:
She's our guest!
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
Chorus:
Be our guest! Be our guest!
Our command is your request
It's been 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
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!

"Be Our Guest" is a sparkling, high-energy number from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," an ode to the importance of service and hospitality woven into a Broadway-style musical extravaganza. The song is an invitation to Belle, the movie's heroine, for a miraculous dinner that shows the natural desire of the enchanted castle to be of service and reserve the best for her. It is performed boisterously by Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, and the rest of the enchanted house staff. And this is where only Disney can perfectly marry invigorating musical storytelling with character development and breathtaking animation evolution.
The charismatic candelabra Lumiere lends the independently-minded utensil the lead vocal on "Be Our Guest" a certain charm and elegance, not to mention the flair normally associated with Gallic entertainer Maurice Chevalier. The number is almost as visually overwhelming as it is aural, with more than a whiff of an impossibly opulent Busby Berkeley production. This was set off by the elaborate dance routines of the animated cutlery and table settings that rendered a scene so alive and full of action, hence compared to a "Busby Berkeley production" for its complexity and joyous execution.
"Be Our Guest" is also known for its technical excellence. It was a milestone in the history of animation and certainly made the most of computer-generated imagery to illustrate the charming dinner. These technological leaps made possible an infinitely more dynamic and visually splendid presentation that would take place here, so kudos and thanks for increasing the magic of the song and movie in general. Musically in nature, "Be Our Guest" follows a showtime and cabaret musical style with its uptempo rhythm and engaging lyrics that ask listeners to join the enchantment of the castle's offerings. It was written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. The song combines comedy, warmth, and hospitality with an encouragement to Belle (and thus to the audience) to sit back and savor the magic of the castle. It is a number that glorifies the act of serving and the potential to bring delight to others with a welcoming spirit in very much the same way as "Beauty and the Beast" does.
