## Lyrics

* Mr. Ping: 我亲爱的女士 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!
* Red M&M: Be... our... guest! Be our guest! Put our service to the test Tie your napkin 'round your neck, chérie And we provide the rest Soupe du jour, hot hors-d'œuvres Why, we only live to serve? Try the grey stuff, it's delicious! Don't believe me? Ask the dishes! They can sing! They can dance! After all, Miss, this is China! And the 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!
* Red and M&M's characters: Beef ragout, cheese soufflé, pie and pudding "en flambé"
* Red M&M: 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
* M&M's characters: 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
* Red M&M: If you're stressed, It's fine dining we suggest!
* Red M&M and M&M's characters: Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
* Red M&M: 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!
* Lucy Van Pelt: 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-shoeing I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing I'll get warm piping hot Heaven's sake! 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!
* M&M's characters: She's our guest!
* Lucy Van Pelt: She's our guest!
* M&M's characters: Be our guest!
* Bill Revs: *Let's go, people. Fun's over. Over here. Line up. AH!*
* M&M's characters: Be our guest! Be our guest! Our command is your request It's ten years since we've had anybody here and we're obsessed With your meal, with your ease, yes, indeed, we aim to please
* Piston Cup Race Fans and M&M's characters: While the candlelight's still glowing, let us help you, we'll keep going
* Red M&M, Slim Pinwheeler, Piston Cup Race Fans and M&M's characters: 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!

## Trivia

* In one scene, the plates make a reconstruction of the Eiffel Tower. This is historically inaccurate, as it had yet to be built in the time in which the movie takes place.
