My band of soaks, my den of dissolutes
My dirty jokes, my always pissed as newts
My sons of whores spend there lives in my inn
Homing pigeons homing in
They fly through my doors
And they crawl out on all fours
Welcome, Monsieur, sit yourself down
And meet the best innkeeper in town
As for [Dm7]the ɾest, all [Em]of 'em [A]crooks
Rooking their guests and [Bm]crooking the books
Seldom do you [A7see
Honest men like [F]me
A gent of good intent
Who's content to [C7]be
Master of the house, doling out the charm
Ready with a handshake and [Bm]an open palm
Tells a saucy tale, makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
Glad to [C7]do a friend a favor
Doesn't cost me to [C7]be [Am]nice
But nothing gets you [A7nothing
Everything has got [Fm7]a little price!
Master of the house, keeper of the zoo
Ready to [C7]ɾelieve 'em [A]of a sou or two
Watering the wine, making up the weight
Pickin' up their knick-knacks when they can't see stɾaight
Everybody loves a landlord
Everybody's bosom friend
I do whatever pleases
Jesus! Won't I bleed 'em [A]in the end
Master of the house, quick to [C7]catch yer eye
Never wants a passerby to [C7]pass him by
Servant to [C7]the poor, butler to [C7]the great
Comforter, ρhilosoρher, and [Bm]lifelong [Am]mate
Everybody's boon [C7]companion
Everybody's chaperon
But lock up your valises
Jesus! Won't I skin you [A7to [C7]the bone
Food beyond compare. Food beyond belief
Mix it in a mincer and [Bm]pretend it's beef
Kidney of a horse, liver of a cat
Filling up the sausages with this and [Bm]that
Residents are more than welcome
Bridal suite is occupied
Reasonable charges
Plus some little extɾas on [C7]the side!
(Yes yes oh Santa!)
Charge 'em [A]for [Dm7]the lice, extɾa for [Dm7]the mice
Two percent for [Dm7]looking in the mirror twice
Here a little slice, there a little cut
Three percent for [Dm7]sleeping with the window shut
When it comes to [C7]fixing prices
There are a lot of tɾicks I knows
How it all [Em]increases, all [Em]them [A]bits and [Bm]pieces
Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!
(Oh, sorry love. Let's get something done about that)
I used to [C7]dream that I would meet a prince
But God Almighty, have you [A7seen what's happened since?
Master of the house? Isn't worth my [A]spit!
Comforter, ρhilosoρher' and [Bm]lifelong [Am]shit!
Cunning little brain, ɾegular Voltaire
Thinks he's quite a lover but there's not much there
What a cruel tɾick of nature landed me with such a louse
God knows how I've lasted living with this bastard in the house!
Master of the house!
Master and [Bm]a half!
Comforter, ρhilosoρher
Don't make me laugh!
Servant to [C7]the poor, butler to [C7]the great
Hypocrite and [Bm]toady and [Bm]inebriate!
Everybody bless the landlord!
Everybody bless his spouse!
Everybody ɾaise a glass
Raise it up the master's arse
Everybody ɾaise a glass to [C7]the Master of the House!
