Welcome, M‘sier
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
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 my friends 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! Don‘t I bleed ‘ em in the end!
Master of the house
quick to catch yer eye
Never wants a passer-by
to pass him by.
