Master of the World

to the tune of 'Master of the House' from Les Miserables

written by Demeter


(Xanatos, a group of tourists and Steel Clan robots enter the Great Hall of the Eyrie building)

Xanatos:
Enter my world. Please, don't sit there!
Sorry, but that's a million dollar chair.
Look over there, see my Ming vase.
I think it's the cheapest thing in this place!
Seldom do you see, trillionaires like me!
I earned it all myself, with no help, you see!
Master of the World, living like a king!
I spent a thousand dollars on just one ring!
I married Fox Renard, and then we had a son,
His name is Alexander, he has magic, it's fun.
I gave my wife the Eye of Odin, it turned her into a were-fox,
Love's become my weakness, but I need someone to sew and wash my socks!
Master of the World, keeper of the dough,
Got a lot of money, how much? I don't know!
I buy expensive wine, I drive expensive cars,
I make a ton of money, I could even buy Mars.
Everybody loves my money! Everybody wants a loan!
But then when I refuse them, goodness! You should hear them moan!

Xanatos and Steel Clan:
Master of the World! He could buy the Earth!
He's a guy who always knows what he is worth!
Always has a plan! You'll hear it soon enough!
But don't get on his bad side, or else he'll get rough!
He has a lot of useless lackeys, Sevarius, don't forget The Pack.

Xanatos:
But Owen's ever-faithful, plus he's always got my back!
Now, now, madame, look, please don't touch!
This painting by Picasso cost me real much!
DaVinci, O' Keefe, Matisse and Van Gogh,
Scrolls from Homer, Socrates and Plato.
Here in my museum, everything is here,
And if it's in a book, you can bet it's near!
Books beyond compare! Books belong to me!
Tragedy and comedy and mystery!
Edgar Allan Poe, Victor Hugo, yes.
Shakespeare, Steinbeck and Herman Hess!
Visitors are always welcome. Just don't wear the welcome out.
I like my privacy and visitors I can do without!
Come to see the rooms, come to eat the food!
But don't go on the towers because it's rude.
Here sample the food, the salad's a delight!
Just be sure that you are gone before the night!
When you're finished with the tour, go into the great gift shop!
Eye of Odin pins, and models of the castle, complete with the gargoyles on top!

Xanatos and Steel Clan:
Master of the World! He could buy the Earth!
He's a guy who always knows what he is worth!
Always has a plan! You'll hear it soon enough!
But don't get on his bad side, or else he'll get rough!
He has a lot of useless lackeys, Sevarius, don't forget The Pack.

Xanatos:
These stupid bunch of tourists, I wish the Clan had never come back!

Puck:
I used to dream that I'd leave Avalon,
And now here I am serving mortals and is it fun!
Master of the World, going on escapades.
Chasing all the gargoyles on midnight raids.
He always has a plan, and several backups as well!
Will he ever rule the world? Only time will tell.
What a cruel trick of Oberon, banishing me eternally!
But I have to interject: 'Oh, Lord what fun these mortals be!'

Steel Clan:
Master of the World!

Puck:
Master billionaire!

Steel Clan:
Always dresses his finest!

Puck:
Wears purple underwear!

Steel Clan:
Loves his wife a lot! And Alexander, yes.

Puck:
And tell me who always cleans up their mess?

Steel Clan:
Everybody loves his money, everybody wants a loan!

Xanatos:
Everybody raise a glass!

Puck:
Don't break it or I'll break your (beep)!

All:
Everybody raise a glass to the Master of the World!
