[00:01.47] (Thenardier greets a new customer)

[00:04.41] (THENARDIER)

[00:06.28] Welcome, M'sieur. sit yourself down

[00:09.72] And meet the best innkeeper in town

[00:15.03] As for the rest, all of 'em crooks

[00:18.23] Rooking their guests and cooking the books.

[00:23.56] Seldom do you see

[00:27.29] Honest men like me

[00:30.20] A gent of good intent

[00:32.85] Who's content to be

[00:37.37] Master of the house

[00:39.24] Doling out the charm

[00:40.83] Ready with a handshake and an open palm

[00:44.29] Tells a saucy tale

[00:45.87] Makes a little stir

[00:47.73] Customers appreciate a bon-viveur

[00:50.94] Glad to do a friend a favor

[00:54.39] Doesn't cost me to be nice

[00:57.57] But nothing gets you nothing

[00:59.17] Everything has got a little price!

[01:04.49] Master of the house

[01:06.08] Keeper of the zoo

[01:07.67] Ready to relieve 'em of a sou or two

[01:11.13] Watering the wine

[01:12.72] Making up the weight

[01:14.32] Pickin' up their knick-knacks when they can't see straight

[01:17.78] Everybody loves a landlord

[01:20.96] Everybody's bosom friend

[01:24.14] I do whatever pleases

[01:25.73] Jesus! Won't I bleed 'em in the end!

[01:29.18] Master of the house

[01:30.78] Quick to catch yer eye

[01:32.37] Never wants a passerby to pass him by

[01:35.57] Servant to the poor

[01:37.15] Butler to the great

[01:38.76] Comforter, philosopher, and lifelong mate

[01:41.95] Everybody's boon companion

[01:45.14] Everybody's chaperone

[01:48.34] But lock up your valises

[01:49.93] Jesus! Won't I skin you to the bone!

[01:56.84] Enter M'sieur

[01:58.17] Lay down your load

[02:00.03] Unlace your boots and rest from the road

[02:04.01] (Taking his bag)

[02:05.07] This weighs a ton

[02:06.66] Travel's a curse

[02:08.53] But here we strive to lighten your purse

[02:13.59] Here the goose is cooked

[02:17.33] Here the fat is fried

[02:19.98] And nothing's overlooked till I'm satisfied.

[02:26.89] Food beyond compare

[02:28.75] Food beyond belief

[02:30.61] Mix it in a mincer and pretend it's beef

[02:34.05] Kidney of a horse

[02:35.66] Liver of a cat

[02:37.25] Filling up the sausages with this and that

[02:40.44] Residents are more than welcome

[02:43.89] Bridal suite is occupied

[02:47.08] Reasonable charges plus some little extras on the side!

[02:53.73] Charge 'em for the lice

[02:55.33] Extra for the mice

[02:56.91] Two percent for looking in the mirror twice

[03:00.37] Here a little slice

[03:01.70] There a little cut

[03:03.58] Three percent for sleeping with the window shut

[03:06.50] When it comes to fixing prices

[03:09.95] There are a lot of tricks he knows

[03:13.15] How it all increases

[03:14.73] All those bits and pieces

[03:16.32] Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!

[03:19.52] Master of the house

[03:21.11] Quick to catch yer eye

[03:22.70] Never wants a passerby to pass him by

[03:38.37] Dirty bunch of geezers

[03:39.97] Jesus! What a sorry little lot!

[03:43.16] (MME. THENARDIER)

[03:47.14] I used to dream that I would meet a prince

[03:50.32] But God Almighty,

[03:51.93] Have you seen what's happened since?

[03:56.43] Master of the house

[03:58.02] Isn't worth me spit

[03:59.88] Comforter, philosopher, and lifelong shit!

[04:03.07] Cunning little brain

[04:04.67] Regular Voltaire

[04:06.27] Thinks he's quite a lover

[04:07.86] But there's not much there

[04:09.75] What a cruel trick of nature

[04:13.19] Landed me with such a louse

[04:16.39] God knows how I've lasted

[04:17.72] Living with this bastard in the house!

[04:21.19] Master of the house

[04:22.37] (MME. THENARDIER)

[04:22.91] Master and a half!

[04:24.50] Comforter, philosopher...

[04:25.83] (MME. THENARDIER)

[04:26.09] Ah, don't make me laugh!

[04:28.74] Servant to the poor. Butler to the great.

[04:30.60] (MME. THENARDIER)

[04:30.87] Hypocrite and toady and inebriate!

[04:34.19] Everybody bless the landlord!

[04:37.11] Everybody bless his spouse!

[04:39.50] (THENARDIER)

[04:40.03] Everybody raise a glass

[04:42.41] (MME. THENARDIER)

[04:43.22] Raise it up the master's arse!

[04:46.40] Everybody raise a glass to the master of the house!
