English 5th June 2020

Good morning, little gastropods:

How are you today? It's Friday again! I can't believe how fast these days are happening. The thing is we have to do some English and, since it's Friday, we have to start with our little tradition. I have chosen a different song today. I hope you like it :)

1. Complete the lyrics (es muy larga, pero no tenemos ninguna prisa y además es divertidísima).

Be our guest
Be our guest
Put our service to the (1)_________________
Tie your napkin 'round your (2)_________________, cherie
And we provide the rest

Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only (3)________________to serve
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don't (4)____________________me? Ask the dishes

They can sing
They can dance
After all, Miss, this is (5)___________________
And a (6)__________________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

Pie and pudding "en flambe"
We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret
You're alone
And you're (8)______________________
But the banquet's all prepared

No one's gloomy or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining

We (9)____________jokes
I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks
And it's all in (10)________________taste that you can bet

Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be out guest
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest

For a servant who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ah, those good old (12)__________________when we were useful
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Ten (13)_______________we've been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing (14)_________________, 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!

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 (15)_______________________
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 (16)_____________________
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
She's our guest
She's our guest
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 (17)__________________up
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Please, be our guest

2. In the link below we have a worksheet you can do to practise a bit more with the new structure we are learning (present perfect to talk about experiences we have had).

3. The song was long and the worksheet was double, so I think you could use a break. Try the next game prepared by our friends from "Los Batanes" (los invertebrados de la Sierra de Guadarrama).

Have a nice weekend ;)
