VERSE

Welcome, Monsieur

sit yourself down

and meet the best innkeeper in town.

As for the rest, all of them crooks,

rooking the guests and cooking the books.

Seldom do you see

Honest men like me,

a gent of good intent

Who's content

to be

CHORUS

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.

VERSE

Master of the house,

keeper of the zoo, ready to relieve 'em 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.

do whatever pleases

Jesus, won't I bleed

'em in the end?

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 Everybody's chaperone

But lock up your valises

Jesus, won't I skin

you to the bone?

VERSE

Enter Monsieur,

lay down your load

Unlace your boots,

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

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.

Dirty bunch of geezers!

Jesus, what a sorry

little lot!

VERSE

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.

CHORUS

Master of the house!

Master and a half!

Comforter, philosopher

Ah, Don't make me laugh!

Servant to the poor,

butler to the great!

Hypocrite,

and toady and inebriate!

Everybody bless the landlord!

Everybody bless his spouse!

Everybody raise a glass!

Raise it up the master's ass!

Everybody raise a glass

to the master of the house!
