Tekst piosenki 'Rest And Recreation' wykonawcy The Hunchback Of Notre Dame

Four years at the front
Give a man a zest
For a little rest
And recreation

For the chance to hunt
For the spiciest
In the way of rest
And recreation

Give me your girls of pleasure
Your grapes of Merlot
Show me your wares and measure
One large sample
Sample them at my leisure
This three-day furlough
Should be ample

I have born the brunt
Of a soldier's test
Now I've made my way
Where I get to play
At rest and recrea-

Cannon fodder lying in the field below the castle
Is this the third week or the fourth week of the siege?
The air filled with a stench of bodies in a trench
Whoever pays the most I call My Liege

Summoned here to Paris now
I'm far away from battle
From clotting blood and rotting wounds
Of dead and dying men

And whatever I do
I'll make sure this is true

I will never go back again!

Darling, to be blunt
You are with the best
That's why I've been blessed
With this promotion

I've been working hard
Now I'm gonna be
Captain of the Guard
Ain't that a notion?

Like other true knights
I've got ambition
But for a few nights
Fun is my mission
So what do you say
Care to share a day
Of rest and recreation

Captain, welcome to the Cathedral Guard

I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve you, my Lord

Your early arrival is most auspicious
The pestilence of these gypsies grows more dangerous every day

Captain, you and I
Have a task we share
Stopping them and their
Proliferation

Paris looks to us to us
To rid her streets of crime
To rid her streets
This is war and thus of crime

There is no time for
Rest and recreation
