Maison Des Lunes Lyrics

GASTON

There's a danger
I'll be thwarted
And denied my honeymoon
For the pretty thing I've courted
Refuse to swoon
So, the time has come for a murky plan
For which I turn to a murky man

LEFOU

To find that feind

BOTH

Where better than
The Maison des Lunes? 

GASTON

I don't take this girl for granted
There's no path I haven't hewn
To her heart; no seed unplanted
No flowers unstrewn 
But quite amazing to relate
She doesn't want me for her mate

LEFOU 

Which forces him to contemplate

BOTH 

The Maison des Lunes 

MONSIEUR D'ARQUE 

I don't wish to seem a tad obtuse
But I don't see how I can be of use
For I lock people up; 
I'm not a "Lonely Heart's club"
I'm a cold, cold fish I've a nasty, vicious streak

LEFOU 

Please speak!  

GASTON 

It's Belle's father who's your client
She adores the old buffoon
She'll be forced to be complaint

LEFOU 

She'll dance to your tune 

GASTON 

We get the daughter through her dad
You just pronounce the old boy mad
LeFou and, whoosh! He's slammed up in your pad--   

LEFOU, D'ARQUE 

The Maison des Lunes 

GASTON 

Do I make myself entirely clear? 

D'ARQUE

It's the simplest deal of my whole foul career!  

GASTON 

Put Maurice away and she'll be here in moments
In a dreadful state
She'll capitulate to me!  

D'ARQUE

I'll be strapping up an inmate  

LEFOU 

Very tightly 

GASTON 

Very soon   

D'ARQUE 

But please don't bring him late 
Our check-in time's noon!

LEFOU, D'ARQUE 

So, wave one bachelor goodbye  

GASTON 

She'll be my bride   

LEFOU 

She'd rather die
Than have her daddy ossify? 

D'ARQUE 

In my sordid saloon 

ALL

So book the church; raise the glasses high
To the Maison des Lunes!
