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 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 LUMIERE

If

you're stressed It's

Life

it so unnerving For
a servant who's not serving He's
not whole without a soul to wait upon Ahh
those good old days when we were useful Suddenly
those good old days are gone 10
years we've been rusting Needing
so much more than dusting Needing
exercise a, chance to use our skill Most
days we just lay around the castle Flabby
fat, and lazy you walked in and oopsie 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 We've

got a lot to do MRS!

POTTS. Is

it one lump or two For?

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

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
