Drinkers: Come on you old pest
Fetch a bottle of your best
What's the nectar of the day?

Théardier: Here, try this lot
Guaranteed to hit the spot
Or I'm not Théardier

Drinkers: Gissa glass a rum
Landlord, over here!

Théardier: Right away, you scum
Right away, Monsieur

Diners: God this place has gone to hell
So you tell me every year

Théardier:
My band of soaks
My den of dissolutes
My dirty jokes, my always pissed as newts.
My sons of whores
Spent their lives in my inn
Homing pigeons homing in
They fly through my doors
And their money's as good as yours

Welcome, Monsieur
Sit yourself down
And meet the best innkeeper in town.
As for the rest,
All of 'em crooks
Rooking their guestsand cooking the books.

Seldom do you see
Honest men like me
A gent of good intent
Who's content to be

Master of the house
Doling out the charm
Ready with a handshake and an open palm
Tells a saucy tale
Makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
Glad to do a friend a favor
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 them of a sou or two
Watering the wine
Making up the weight
Pickin' 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!

Master of the house
Quick 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
Everybody's chaperone
But lock up your valises
Jesus! Won't I skin you to the bone!

Enter Monsieur, 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 a 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 those bits and pieces
Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!

Master of the house
Quick 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
Dirty bunch of geezers
Jesus! What a sorry little lot!

Mrs. Théardier:
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 ****!
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!

Théardier & Drinkers: Master of the house!
Mrs. Théardier: Master and a half!
Théardier & Drinkers: Comforter, philosopher
Mrs. Théardier: Ah, don't make me laugh!
Théardier & Drinkers: Servant to the poor! Butler to the great!
Mrs. Théardier: Hypocrite and toady and inebriate!
Everybody bless the landlord!
Everybody bless his spouse!
Théardier: Everybody raise a glass!
Mrs. Théardier: Raise it up the master's arse!
Everybody raise a glass to the master of the house!
