Be Our Guest lyrics - Jamie Cullum (feat. Eric Cantona)
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, cherie
And we'll provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
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 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
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
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest
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!
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!
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!
Jamie Cullum lyrics - Jamie Cullum
Bring out all the old decorations
Some of them, they're older than us
To my new neighbours, I say salutation
Come shelter in here from the dust
Take your cellphone off of the table
And look your father straight in the eye
Could this stranger become an angel?
Could the winter brighter your sky?
Somebody, hold out their hand
Well, somebody, count off the band
Come on, let's light up the town
And, Christmas, don't let me down
Well, the bars are stuffed to the rafters
And all the children lie awake in their beds
But can ya fill up the houses with laughter?
Shall we dance and honour our dead?
Somebody, hold out their hand
Well, somebody, count off the band
Come on, let's light up the town
And, Christmas, don't let me down
Well, another Christmas Eve is upon us
Can we go gentle into that cold, cold night
Well, I know you can't grant all my wishes
Yet I pray for the world to be kind
Now, hold out your hand
Well, somebody, count off the band
Come on, let's light up the town
And, Christmas, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't Give Up On Me lyrics - Jamie Cullum
Well, I struggle for perfection
When there's moonlight in the flaws
Well, I'm dazzled by projections
Going deeper into loss
You can close your ears and lock the doors
And never let the hope in
But don't shut out the truth, because
Love only gets in when you're open
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Like you can't let go?
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Oh, you can't let go
So come on and let me reach out
And let's use these days for living
When I fall asleep I dream now
How far that I was drifting
Well it's only now I realize
To bloom, you must be broken
But don't shut out the truth, because
Love only gets in when you're open
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Like you can't let go?
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Oh, you can't let go
You can close your ears and lock the doors
And never let the hope in
But don't shut out the truth, because
Love only gets in
When you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Like you can't let go?
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Like you can't let go?
Oh, you can't let go
Don't give up on me
Every Night lyrics - Jamie Cullum
(originally by Paul McCartney)
Every night, I just want to go out
Get out of my head
Every day, I don't want to get up
Get out of my bed
Every night, I want to play out
And every day, I want to do
But tonight I just want to stay in and be with you, ooh
And be with you
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-hoo-ooh, mm-hmmh
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-hooh, mm-hmmh
Every day, I lean on a lamp post
I'm wasting my time
Every night, I lay on a pillow
I'm resting my mind
Every morning brings a new day
And every night, that day is through
But tonight I just want to stay in and be with you, ooh
And be with you
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-ooh, mm-hmmh, believe me mama
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh, ah
Oo-ooh, mm-hmmh
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-hoo-ooh, mm-hmmh
Give Me The Simple Life lyrics - Jamie Cullum
(from "Meet The Robinsons" soundtrack)
One two, a one two three four
I don't believe in frettin' or grievin'
Why mess around with strife?
Guess I was cut out to step up and strut out
Give me the simple life
It must be pleasant dining on pheasant
Using the proper knife
I want tomatoes and mashed potatoes
Give me the simple life
Cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
Ah, that brings the joy and laughter
With the ones that you love inside
You take the high road, I'll take the low road
Free from all care and strife
Sounds corny and seedy, oh yes, indeed
Give me the simple life
A cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
A house that brings the joy and laughter
With the ones that you love inside
You take the high road, I'll take the low road
Free from all care and strife
Sounds corny and seedy, oh yes, indeed
Give me the simple life, give me the simple life
This Winter lyrics - Jamie Cullum
I don't wanna build a snowman
The only man I need is right here
I don't wanna drag any tree
You see, I only want to decorate you, dear
I've only one intention
That I'm gonna pursue
'Cause this winter
My only plan is to love you
You won't find me stuck on the highway
'Cause I'm swerving off the road to your home
Navigating Bay Brightstone
So never again will you be alone
Nothing on my schedule
Is under review
'Cause this winter
My only plan is to love you
No need for sleighbells or trumpets or drums
We'll find a river to skate away on
So come on, all ye faithless
Love all over town
I'm homin' in on one devotion
I dreamt about this all year long
I've got to simplify my aim
So I'll wrap you in my arms, where it's warm
All your other lovers
Can get in a queue
'Cause this winter
My only plan is to kiss you
My only plan is to hold you
My only plan is to love you
Where Is Your Heart At? lyrics - Jamie Cullum
(from "Meet The Robinsons" soundtrack)
You asked me over, and over and over
Have you seen my peacock feathered hat
If it was under a four leaf clover
I'd be on the lawn lookin' for that
Where is your heart at? Nobody knows that
Even though you, him, her, me and then I'll be searching
I've got a feeling you will be reeling
When you are bad and the circus comes to town
And you'll see me leaving dressed up
As a magician or something like that
You're sad and flip-flops are hidden in the
Pockets of your velvet dressing gown
Your diamond cuff lings are hidden in the
Ruffles of your silk white shirt from town
Where is your heart at? Nobody knows that
Even though you, him, her, me and then I'll be searching
I've got a feeling, you will be reeling
When you are bad and the circus comes to town
And you'll see me leaving dressed up
As a magician or something like that, hey
