Master Of The House Lyrics

Thenardier:

Welcome, Monsieur, sit yourself down
And meet the best innkeeper in town
As for the rest, all of 'em crooks:
Rooking their guests and 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 'em of a sou or two
Water in 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!

Thenardier & Drinkers:

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

Thenardier:

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 on your purse
Here the goose is cooked
Here the fat is fried
But 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 them bits and pieces
Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!Sacha Baron Cohen - Master Of The House - http://motolyrics.com/sacha-baron-cohen/master-of-the-house-lyrics.html

Thenardier & Chorus:

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

Thenardier:

Dirty bunch of geezers
Jesus! What a sorry little lot!

Mme. Thenardier:

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 my 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!

Thenardier & Drinkers:

Master of the house!

Mme. Thenardier:

Master of an arse!

Thenardier & Drinkers:

Comforter, philosopher

Mme. Thenardier:

Don't make me laugh!

Thenardier & Drinkers:

Servant to the poor, butler to the great

Mme. Thenardier:

Hypocrite and toady and inebriate!

Thenardier & Drinkers:

Everybody bless the landlord!
Everybody bless his spouse!

Thenardier:

Everybody raise a glass

Mme. Thenardier:

Raise it up the master's arse

All:

Everybody raise a glass to the Master of the House!
