Lyrics

[00:03.16] Chorus:
[00:03.44] Ring out the bells upon this day of days!
[00:08.19] May all the angels of the Lord above
[00:15.28] In jubilation sing their songs of praise!
[00:24.61] And crown this blessed time
[00:29.78] with peace and love.
[00:34.55] Major Domo:
[00:34.92] The Baron and Baroness de Théard
[00:42.55] wish to pay their respects to the groom!
[00:46.42] Théardier:
[00:47.04] Ain't it a laugh?
[00:48.76] Ain't it a treat?
[00:50.29] Hob-nobbin' here
[00:51.86] Among the elite?
[00:54.20] Here comes a prince
[00:57.46] There goes a Jew.
[00:59.18] This one's a queer
[01:00.82] But what can you do?
[01:05.19] Paris at my feet
[01:08.70] Paris in the dust
[01:12.55] And here's me breaking bread
[01:16.30] With the upper crust!
[01:20.43] Beggar at the feast!
[01:22.21] Master of the dance!
[01:23.75] Life is easy pickings
[01:24.95] If you grab your chance.
[01:26.86] Everywhere you go
[01:28.30] Law-abiding folk
[01:29.86] Doing what is decent
[01:31.27] But they're mostly broke!
[01:32.90] Singing to the Lord on Sundays
[01:35.87] Praying for the gifts He'll send.
[01:38.11] M. and Mme. Théardier:
[01:38.39] But we're the ones who take it
[01:40.39] We're the ones who make it in the end!
[01:43.42] Watch the buggers dance
[01:46.39] Watch 'em till they drop
[01:47.83] Keep your wits about you
[01:48.90] And you stand on top!
[01:50.81] Masters of the land
[01:52.28] Always get our share
[01:53.76] Clear away the barricades
[01:55.23] And we're still there!
[01:56.67] We know where the wind is blowing
[01:59.69] Money is the stuff we smell.
[02:02.54] And when we're rich as Croesus
[02:04.20] Jesus! Won't we see you all in hell!
[02:07.46]
