Pre-verse 1   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 verse 1 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 ev’rything has got a little price Master of the House keeper of the zoo Ready to relieve them of a sou or two Watering the wine making up the weight Picking up their knick-knacks when they can’t see strainght Everybody loves a landlord everybody’s bosom friend      I do whatever pleases Jesus don’t I bleed them in the end! Master of the House quick to catch your eye Never wants a passer by to pass him by Servant to the poor butler to the great Comforter philosopher and lifelong mate Ev’rybody’s boon companion Ev’rybody’s chaperone But lock up your valises Jesus won’t I skin you to the bone!

Master of the House quick to catch your eye Never wants a passer by to pass him by Servant to the poor butler to the great Comforter philosopher and lifelong mate Ev’rybody’s boon companion Give ’em everything I’ve got Dirty bunch of geezers Jesus what a sorry little lot! Instrumental     Bridge I used to dream that I would meet a prince.   But God Almighty have you seen what’s happened since? Verse 5 Master of the house? Isn’t worth my 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! Master of the house master and a half comforter philosopher. Don’t make me laugh! Servant to the poor butler to the great Hypocrite and toady and inebriate! Ev’rybody bless our landlord Ev’rybody bless his spouse.     Ev’rybody raise a glass Raise it up the master’s arse! Everybody raise a glass to the master of the house    Outro
