Showtime Hits 2 – Song Sheet
1) Be Our Guest (Beauty and the Beast)
Lumiere: Ma chere 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 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 souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"
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
Mugs: And it's all in perfect taste That you can bet
All: Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be out guest
Lumiere: If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest
All: Be our guest Be our guest Be our guest
Lumiere: 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!
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 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?
Chorus: She's our guest
Mrs Potts:She's our guest
Chorus: She's our guest
Be our guest Be our guest
Our command is your request
It's ten years since we 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
2) Consider Yourself (Oliver)
DODGER: Consider yourself at home.
Consider yourself one of the family.
We've taken to you so strong,
It's clear we're going to get along.
Consider yourself well in.
Consider yourself part of the furniture.
There isn't a lot to spare.
Who cares? Whatever we got we share!
If it should chance to be
We should see Some harder days,
Empty-larder days, Why grouse?
Always a chance we'll meet
Somebody to foot the bill,
Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate.
We don't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself One of us!
Consider yourself...
OLIVER: At home?
DODGER: Consider yourself...
OLIVER: One of the family?
CAPTAIN: We've taken to you
OLIVER: So strong?
DODGER: It's clear we're
BOTH: Going to get along.
DODGER: Consider yourself...
OLIVER: Well in?
DODGER: Consider yourself...
OLIVER: Part of the furniture?
BOTH: There isn't a lot to spare!
Who cares? Whatever we got we share.
DODGER: Nobody tries to be lah-di-dah and uppity.
There a cup o'tea for all.
Only it's wise to be handy wiv' a rolling pin
When the landlord comes to call!
BOTH: Consider yourself Our mate.
We don't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself One of us!
COMPANY: Consider yourself at home.
We've taken to you so strong.
Consider yourself well in. There isn't a lot to spare
If it should chance to be We should see
Some harder days -- Empty-larder days --Why grouse?
Always a chance we'll meet Somebody to foot the bill --
Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate. We don't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself One of us!
3) Macavity (Cats)
Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the hidden paw
For he's a master criminal who can defy the law
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair
For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air
But I tell you once and once again Macavity's not there!
Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed
He sways his head from side to side with movements like a snake
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards
And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
And when the larder's looted or the jewel case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled
Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair
There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
He always has an alibi and one or two to spare
What ever time the deed took place Macavity wasn't there!
And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone
Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
Just controls the operations: the Napoleon of crime!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity
Macavity, Macavity, Macavity
When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
Macavity's not there!
4) He Whistled At Me (Starlight Express)
Pearl:
Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo:
Nobody can do it like a steam train.
Coaches
Whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo
Everybody's waiting for their dream train.
Pearl
I'll know him when I see him
For long before I see him
I will hear that far off signal
I will hear the distant call
And then he'll whistle at me.
He'll send a note to woo me.
He'll whistle at me,
I'm gonna hitch him to me.
Some day soon he'll whistle at me,
That's how I'll recognize him
And maybe I will whistle at him
That should surprise him.
Don't give me insistent humming,
Horns and bells and distant drumming,
I want steam that's under pressure
As it rises to a scream,
Somebody whistle at me,
I'm all anticipation.
I need someone to whistle at me,
I'm waiting at the station.
Come on, someone whistle at me,
I'm longing to be near him.
I need someone to whistle at me
I'll know him when I hear him.
He'll whistle at me.
5) Take it on the chin (Me and my Girl)
Once my father said And my mother said
And my sister said And my brother said
Now you're growing up Soon you're gonna fall out
Of the family roundabout.
Then my father said And my mother said
And my sister said And my brother said
There's one little thing You should certainly know
When into the world you go. Take your troubles on the chin
And though you get an earful! Don't despair or tear your hair,
For heaven's sake be cheerful!
That's what father said, That's what mother said,
That's what sister said, That's what brother said.
They were certainly right in telling me so
And I think that you should know!
Here's a little trick,
Whenever things get a little bit thick
Just you take it on the chin,
Put on a little grin and smile, smile!
Here's a little ruse
To counteract an attack of the blues,
Just you take it on the chin,
Turn on a little grin and smile!
What's the use of worr'ing 'Bout a single blessed thing,
After all it's done and said, Pretty soon we all be dead!
So as we're alive,
If there's a bother you want to survive,
Just you take it on the chin, Cultivate a little grin and smile!
Here's a little trick, Whenever things get a little bit thick
Just you take it on the chin, Put on a little grin and smile, smile!
Here's a little ruse To counteract an attack of the blues,
Just you take it on the chin, Turn on a little grin and smile!
What's the use of worr'ing 'Bout a single blessed thing,

So as we're alive,
If there's a bother you want to survive,
Just you take it on the chin, Cultivate a little grin,
Just you take it on the chin, Cultivate a little grin and
Smile, smile, smile!
6) Stepping Out (Stepping Out – Liza Minelli)
Ooh ooh, Ooh ooh
Why am I alone tonight when I should be steppin’ out?
Where’s the guy, my Mister Right,
Who might take me, steppin’ out?
It’s hell to sit here and moan
Immersed in the tone of blue music.
Oh well, I’ll go it alone and dance on my own
Exiciting new music.
Watch me fly, I’ll get it right,
and you’ll agree, there’s no doubt
I once was there in the pit of despair
But now I’m steppin’ out
It’s hell to sit here and moan
Immersed in the tone of blue music
Oh well I’ll go it alone and dance on my own
Exciting new music – New music
Wait and see, there’s no dobt
I’ve played the fool in loves empty pool
But now now now I’m steppin’ out.
7) Hoplessly Devoted (Grease)
Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
my eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know,
there's just no gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around
and wait for you
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else
for me to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him",
my heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you
8) The Night they invented Champagne (Gigi)
The night they invented Champagne,
It's plain as it can be,
They thought of you and me.
The night they invented Champagne,
They absolutely knew,
That all we'd want to do
Is fly to the sky on Champagne,
And shout to everyone in sight:
That since the world began,
No woman or man
Has ever been as happy as we are tonight!
9) The Lonely Goatherd (The Sound of Music)
