Try the grey stuff

Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
D7(9)      G              G7M
They can sing, they can dance

After all, miss, this is France

      A#m7     D#7(9)
A culinary cabaret!
        A#m
You're alone
           A#m7M
And you're scared
        A#m7             D#7(9)
But the banquet's all prepared
         A#m7          Bº
No one's gloomy or complaining
         Cm7         Bm7   A#m7

Fm
Life is so unnerving
      C/E
For a servant who's not serving
         Cº                     
He's not whole without a soul to 
   A#/D
wait upon
Eº                                
Ah, those good old days when we 
   Cm7  Cm7(b13)
were useful...
A#m7                             
Suddenly those good old days are 
C7
gone
Fm
Ten years we've been rusting
        C/E
Needing so much more than dusting
        D#º                      
Needing exercise, a chance to use 
    (A#4/D)  A#/D
our skills!
C#º                            
Most days we just lay around 
G#/C  Fm7
the castle
A#m7
Flabby, fat and lazy
           D#7
You walked in and oops a daisy!

It's a guest! It's a guest!
       A6                 A
Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed!
Wine's been poured and thank the 
A#º
Lord
             Bm7             E7(9)
I've had the napkins freshly pressed
        Bm                Bm7M
With dessert, she'll want tea
       Bm7                   E7(9)
And my dear that's fine with me
          Bm7                Cº
While the cups do their soft shoein'
        C#m7      C#m7     Bm7
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
E7(9)     A            A7M
I'll get warm, piping hot
         A6               A
Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
               A7M       A7    
Clean it up! We want the company 
    D6
impressed

We've got a lot      to    do!
 (C#7/F)  F#m7      B7
Is it one lump or two?
             Bm
For you, our guest!
          E7
She's our guest!
          C#m
She's our guest!

She's our guest!

Yes, indeed, we aim to please
          F#4(7)             
While the candlelight's still 
 F#
glowing

Let us help you, we'll keep going

G6         G7      C             
Course     by      course, one by

'Til you shout, "enough! I'm done!"
           C        C7M    C7    
Then we'll sing you off to sleep 
   C7/E   F6
as you  digest
               E     Bm7/F#  G#º
Tonight you'll prop your feet up

But for now, let's eat up
