YA TE ENERASTE, PARTE II

¿Quién eres mi niñota libélula en Lunes frío?

Eres la Master of The House y nada más…

Disfruta, recuerda cuánto disfrutaste ver la puesta en vivo. Te adoramos todos.

THENARDIER

Welcome, M’sieur

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

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!  THENARDIER & CHORUS

Master of the house

Quick to catch yer eye

Never wants a passer-by

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!  (To another new customer) THENARDIER

Enter M’sieur

Lay down your load

Unlace your boots

And rest from the road  (Taking his bag) 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 bee

fKidney 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! THENARDIER AND 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 dreamThat 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!  THENARDIER & CHORUS

Master of the house.  MME. THENARDIER

Master and a half! THENARDIER & CHORUS

Comforter, philosopher  MME. THENARDIER

Ah, don’t make me laugh! THENARDIER & CHORUS

Servant to the poor.
Butler to the great.  MME. THENARDIER

Hypocrite and toady and inebriate! THENARDIER & CHORUS

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!
