Ma chère mademoiselle, det er med yderste stolthed og største glæde, at vi byder dem velkommen
Ma chère mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you.
Og nu beder vi dem ta` plads og sætte dem tilbage mens spisesalen stolt præsenterer deres middag
And now we ask you to take a seat and lean back as the dining room proudly presents your dinner
Vær vor gæst, vær vor gæst
Be our guest, be our guest
Vor betjening den er bedst
Our service is the best
Bind din hvide serviet, chérie
Tie your white napkin, chérie
Mens vi gør klar til fest
As we prepare for a party
Soupe du jour, canapéer
Soupe du jour, canapés
Hvad kan nogen ønske mere?
What more could anyone want?
Prøv og smag her, udnyt chancen
Have a taste of this, use the chance
Det er lækkert, spørg fajancen
It's delicious, ask the faience
Hvert et fad danser glad
Every plate dances happily
Det er Frankrig, det er mad
It's France, it's food
Og en middag her er simpelthen en fest
And a dinner here is nothing short of a celebration
Tag nu og læs menuen
Take a look at the menu
Mens vi skummer skyen
As we foam the gravy
Lumiere & Chorus
Lumiere & chorus
Boeuf ragout, fin souffle
Boeuf ragout, fine souffle
Pandekager og flambe
Pancakes and flambé
Og vi tilbereder let
And we easily cook
En kulinarisk cabaret
A culinary cabaret
Du' forladt, du er skræmt
You're abandoned, you're scared
Det kurerer vi da nemt
We're easily cure that
Slå nu bare dine folder
Just have some fun
Mens servicen underholder
As the crockery entertains
Her er sjov, her er grin
We have fun, we have laughter
Her er drypfri stearin
We have dripless candles
Vi bereder dig en stilfuld soiree
We'll prepare a classy soiree for you
Værs'go og løft dit glas
Bon appétit and raise your glass
Og føl dig veltilpas
And get comfortable
Og vær vor gæst
And be our guest
Er du sur, har vi søde petit fours
If you're sour, we have sweet petit fours
Lumiere & Chorus
Lumiere & chorus
Fester uden gæster
Parties without guests
Er koncerter uden orkester
Are concerts without a orchestra
Det er fladt med ikke en kat at springe for
It's dry without a single cat to spring for
Ah, de gyldne år da vi blev anvendt
Ah, the golden years when we were utilized
De er væk, de gode glade år
They're gone, the good, happy years
Ti år her i støvet
Ten years here in the dust
Det er noget, der har sløvet
It's something which as made us dull
Man bli`r stivbenet, man glemmer det man kan
You'll get stiff, you'll forget what you know
Det sker tit vi bare går og drysser
It often happens that we're just hanging around
Som en vissen krokus
Like a withered crocus
Så kom du og hokus pokus
Then you came and hocus pocus
Der` en gæst, der` en gæst
We have a guest, we have a guest
Gudskelov, så bli`r der fest
Thank God, then we'll celebrate
Glas med vin og postelin
Glasses with wine and porcelain
og hvide duge det er bedst
and white table cloths
Hun vil nok be om te
She probably wants tea
Den bli`r brygget en, to, tre
We'll brew it, one, two, three
Mine tekopper de tramper
My tea cups stomp
Mens jeg koger og jeg damper
As I cook and I steam
Jeg bli`r varm, ryger let
I get warm, easily smoking
Hva` er det, er det en plet
What's that? Is that a dirty spot?
Få den væk! Vi vil ha` tre stjernet attest
Get rid of it! We want a certificate with three stars
Vi må vær` lydefri
We must be unblemished
Vil du ha sukker i
Would you like some sugar
Vær vor gæst, vær vor gæst
Be our guest, be our guest
Kom nu ikke med protest
Please don't protest
Det er ti år siden nogen spiste her
It's ten years since anyone dined here
Så vi gør bedst
So we'll do our best
Af dit bord, af dit ord
From your table, from your word
Lyt til tjenerskabets ord
Listen to what the staff has to say
Og mens kandelabre brænder
And as candelabras burn
Bærer vi på vores hænder
We'll carry on our hands
Lumiere & Chorus
Lumiere & chorus
Fad på fad, ret på ret
Plate after plate, dish after dish
Til du skriger, Hvor er jeg mæt!
Until you scream, I'm so stuffed!
Vi vil sørge for du sover som en hest
We'll make sure you'll sleep like a horse
Vi gør dig tryg og glad
We'll make you comfortable and happy
Men først ska` du ha` mad
But first, you're going to have some food
Ja vær vor gæst
Yes, be our guest
