[00:03.16]Chorus:
[00:03.44]Ring out the bells upon this day of days!
[00:08.19]May all the angels of the Lord above
[00:15.28]In jubilation sing their songs of praise!
[00:24.61]And crown this blessed time
[00:29.78]with peace and love.
[00:34.55]Major Domo:
[00:34.92]The Baron and Baroness de Théard
[00:42.55]wish to pay their respects to the groom!
[00:46.42]Théardier:
[00:47.04]Ain't it a laugh?
[00:48.76]Ain't it a treat?
[00:50.29]Hob-nobbin' here
[00:51.86]Among the elite?
[00:54.20]Here comes a prince
[00:57.46]There goes a Jew.
[00:59.18]This one's a queer
[01:00.82]But what can you do?
[01:05.19]Paris at my feet
[01:08.70]Paris in the dust
[01:12.55]And here's me breaking bread
[01:16.30]With the upper crust!
[01:20.43]Beggar at the feast!
[01:22.21]Master of the dance!
[01:23.75]Life is easy pickings
[01:24.95]If you grab your chance.
[01:26.86]Everywhere you go
[01:28.30]Law-abiding folk
[01:29.86]Doing what is decent
[01:31.27]But they're mostly broke!
[01:32.90]Singing to the Lord on Sundays
[01:35.87]Praying for the gifts He'll send.
[01:38.11]M. and Mme. Théardier:
[01:38.39]But we're the ones who take it
[01:40.39]We're the ones who make it in the end!
[01:43.42]Watch the buggers dance
[01:46.39]Watch 'em till they drop
[01:47.83]Keep your wits about you
[01:48.90]And you stand on top!
[01:50.81]Masters of the land
[01:52.28]Always get our share
[01:53.76]Clear away the barricades
[01:55.23]And we're still there!
[01:56.67]We know where the wind is blowing
[01:59.69]Money is the stuff we smell.
[02:02.54]And when we're rich as Croesus
[02:04.20]Jesus! Won't we see you all in hell!
[02:07.46]
