ひとりぼっちの晩餐会 (『美女と野獣』より)

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, chérie

And we 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

Und 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

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

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-shoeing

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

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 (Be our guest)

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

Till 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
