Master of the House
[00:15.32] Welcome, Monsieur, sit yourself down
[00:18.49] And meet the best innkeeper in town
[00:23.74] As for the rest, all of 'em crooks:
[00:26.58] Rooking their guests and crooking the books
[00:32.36] Seldom do you see
[00:36.43] Honest men like me
[00:37.93] A gent of good intent
[00:40.73] Who's content to be
[00:45.18] Master of the house, doling out the charm
[00:47.69] Ready with a handshake and an open palm
[00:50.81] Tells a saucy tale, makes a little stir
[00:53.78] Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
[00:56.92] Glad to do a friend a favor
[00:59.98] Doesn't cost me to be nice
[01:02.98] But nothing gets you nothing
[01:05.95] Everything has got a little price!
[01:09.24] Master of the house, keeper of the zoo
[01:12.18] Ready to relieve 'em of a sou or two
[01:15.26] Watering the wine, making up the weight
[01:18.35] Pickin' up their knick-knacks when they can't see straight
[01:21.53] Everybody loves a landlord
[01:24.43] Everybody's bosom friend
[01:27.56] I do whatever pleases
[01:29.22] Jesus! Won't I bleed 'em in the end!
[01:31.91] Thenardier & Drinkers:
[01:32.42] Master of the house, quick to catch yer eye
[01:35.91] Never wants a passerby to pass him by
[01:38.38] Servant to the poor, butler to the great
[01:41.35] Comforter, philosopher, and lifelong mate!
[01:44.64] Everybody's boon companion
[01:47.65] Everybody's chaperone
[01:50.69] But lock up your valises
[01:52.57] Jesus! Won't I skin you to the bone!
[01:59.70] Enter Monsieur, lay down your load
[02:03.07] Unlace your boots, rest from the road
[02:08.46] This weighs a ton, travel's a curse
[02:12.33] But here we strive to lighten your purse
[02:17.64] Here the goose is cooked
[02:21.52] Here the fat is fried
[02:23.73] And nothing's overlooked
[02:26.35] Till I'm satisfied
[02:30.83] Food beyond compare. Food beyond belief
[02:33.81] Mix it in a mincer and pretend it's beef
[02:36.85] Kidney of a horse, liver of a cat
[02:39.90] Filling up the sausages with this and that
[02:43.22] Residents are more than welcome
[02:46.44] Bridal suite is occupied
[02:49.55] Reasonable charges
[02:50.89] Plus some little extras on the side!
[02:55.81] Charge 'em for the lice, extra for the mice
[02:59.44] Two percent for looking in the mirror twice
[03:01.85] Here a little slice, there a little cut
[03:04.78] Three percent for sleeping with the window shut
[03:07.91] When it comes to fixing prices
[03:11.21] There are a lot of tricks he knows
[03:14.01] How it all increases, all them bits and pieces
[03:16.98] Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!
[03:20.61] Master of the house, quick to catch yer eye
[03:23.63] Never wants a passerby to pass him by
[03:26.74] Servant to the poor, butler to the great
[03:29.72] Comforter, philosopher, and lifelong mate!
[03:32.96] Everybody's boon companion
[03:36.20] Gives 'em everything he's got
[03:39.13] Dirty bunch of geezers
[03:40.78] Jesus! What a sorry little lot!
[03:50.32] I used to dream that I would meet a prince
[03:54.95] But God Almighty, have you seen what's happened since?
[04:02.87] Master of the house? Isn't worth my spit!
[04:06.84] `Comforter, philosopher' and lifelong shit!
[04:12.64] Cunning little brain, regular Voltaire
[04:15.39] Thinks he's quite a lover but there's not much there
[04:19.78] What a cruel trick of nature landed me with such a louse
[04:27.16] God knows how I've lasted living with this bastard in the house!
[04:31.98] Master of the house!
[04:33.54] Master and a half!
[04:35.03] Comforter, philosopher
[04:36.57] Ah, don't make me laugh!
[04:37.97] Servant to the poor, butler to the great
[04:41.34] Hypocrite and toady and inebriate!
[04:43.97] Everybody bless the landlord!
[04:47.14] Everybody bless his spouse!
[04:50.06] Everybody raise a glass
[04:53.62] Raise it up the master's arse
[04:56.20] Everybody raise a glass to the Master of the House!
