[00:03.25] Drinkers: Come on you old pest
[00:04.32] Fetch a bottle of your best
[00:05.58] What's the nectar of the day?
[00:06.66]
[00:08.74] Théardier: Here, try this lot
[00:09.75] Guaranteed to hit the spot
[00:11.36] Or I'm not Théardier
[00:12.86]
[00:13.65] Drinkers: Gissa glass a rum
[00:14.13] Landlord, over here!
[00:15.84]
[00:16.30] Théardier: Right away, you scum
[00:17.74] Right away, Monsieur
[00:18.77]
[00:19.40] Diners: God this place has gone to hell
[00:21.14] So you tell me every year
[00:22.30]
[00:24.37] Théardier:
[00:25.31] My band of soaks
[00:27.24] My den of dissolutes
[00:29.02] My dirty jokes, my always pissed as newts.
[00:32.75] My sons of whores
[00:34.82] Spent their lives in my inn
[00:38.08] Homing pigeons homing in
[00:40.57] They fly through my doors
[00:45.79] And their money's as good as yours
[00:48.72]
[00:52.00] Welcome, Monsieur
[00:53.99] Sit yourself down
[00:55.52] And meet the best innkeeper in town.
[01:00.94] As for the rest,
[01:02.74] All of 'em crooks
[01:04.46] Rooking their guestsand cooking the books.
[01:07.89]
[01:09.85] Seldom do you see
[01:13.11] Honest men like me
[01:15.82] A gent of good intent
[01:18.25] Who's content to be
[01:20.88]
[01:21.94] Master of the house
[01:23.45] Doling out the charm
[01:24.90] Ready with a handshake and an open palm
[01:27.70] Tells a saucy tale
[01:29.10] Makes a little stir
[01:30.56] Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
[01:33.32] Glad to do a friend a favor
[01:36.16] Doesn't cost me to be nice
[01:38.96] But nothing gets you nothing
[01:40.50] Everything has got a little price!
[01:42.99]
[01:44.60] Master of the house
[01:46.00] Keeper of the zoo
[01:47.40] Ready to relieve them of a sou or two
[01:50.16] Watering the wine
[01:51.60] Making up the weight
[01:52.95] Pickin' up their knick-knacks when they can't see straight
[01:55.83] Everybody loves a landlord
[01:58.50] Everybody's bosom friend

[03:27.96] There a little cut
[03:29.34] Three percent for sleeping with the window shut
[03:32.02] When it comes to fixing prices
[03:34.81] There are a lot of tricks he knows
[03:37.55] How it all increases

[04:29.63] Regular Voltaire
[04:31.78] Thinks he's quite a lover
[04:33.46] But there's not much there
[04:35.82] What a cruel trick of nature
