THERNADIER
Welcome Monsieur, sIt yourself down
And meet the best innkeeper in town
As for the rest, all of them crooks
Rooking their guests and cooking the books
Seldom do you see
Honest men like me
A gent of good intent
Whose content to be
Master of the house, doling out the charm
Ready with a handshake and open palm
Tells a saucy tale, makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a Bon-viveur
Glad to do a friend a favour
Doesn't cost me to be nice
But nothing gets you nothing
Everything has got a little price
Master of the house, keeper of the zoo
Ready to relieve of a sou or two
Watering the wine, making up the weight
Picking up their knick-knacks when they can't see straight
Everybody loves a landlord
Everybody's bosom friend
I do whatever pleases
Jesus! Won't I bleed em in the end!
THERNADIER & DRINKERS
Master of the house
Quick to catch yer eyes
Never wants a passerby
To pass him by
Servant to the poor, butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher
And lifelong mate
Everybody's boon companion
Everybody's chaperone
THERNADIER
But lock up your valises
Jesus! Won't I skin you to the bone!
(To another new customer)
Enter M'sieur
Lay down your load
Unlace your boots
And rest from the road
This weighs a ton
Travel's a curse
But here we strive to lighten your purse
Here the goose is cooked
Here the fat is fried
And nothing's overlooked
Till I'm satisfied
Food beyond compare, food beyond belief
Mix it in the mincer and pretend it's beef
Kidney of a horse, liver of a cat
Filling up the sausages with this and that
Residents are more than welcome
Bridal suite is occupied
Reasonable charges
Plus some little extras on the side
Charge em for the lice
Extra for the mice
Two percent for looking in the mirror twice
Here a little slice, there a little cut
Three percent for sleeping with the window shut
When it comes to fixing prices
There are a lot of tricks he knows
How it all increases
All the bits and pieces
Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!
THERNADIER & Master of the house
Quick to catch to catch yer eye
Never wants a passerby
To pass him by
Servant to the poor, Butler to the great
Comforter, Philosopher,
And lifelong mate!
Everybody's boon companion
Gives em everything he's got
THERNADIER
Dirty bunch of geezers
Jesus! What a sorry little lot
MADAME THERNADIER
I used to dream
That I would meet a prince
But God Almighty
Have you seen what's happened since?
Master of the house?
Isn't worth me spit
Comforter, philosopher
And lifelong shit
Cunning little brain
Regular Voltaire
Thinks he's quite a lover
But there's not much there
What a cruel trick of nature
Landed me with such a louse
God knows how I've lasted
Living with this bastard in the house!
THERNADIER & DRINKER
Master of the house
MADAME THERNADIER
Master and a half!
THERNDIER & DRINKERS
Comforter, philosopher
MADAME THERNADIER
Don't make me laugh!
THERNADIER & DRINKERS
Servant to the poor,
Butler to the great
MADAME THERNADIER
Hypocrite and toady
And inebriate
THERNADIER & DRINKERS
Everybody bless the landlord
Everybody bless his spouse
THERNADIER
Everybody raise a glass!
MADAME THERNADIER
Raise it up the master's arse
Everybody raise a glass to the master of the house
