Rest and Recreation

four years at the front
get the 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 you wares and measure
one large sample
sample them at my liesure
this three day furlough
should be ample
I have bore the brunt
of a soldiers test
now I've made my way where I get to play
at rest and recrea...
four years at the front
four years at the front!
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 the 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 am 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!
(Frollo and Phoebus speaking)
Frollo (Phoebas)
Captain you and I
Have a task we share
Stopping them and thier proliferation
Paris looks to us (To us!)
To rid her streets of crime (To rid her streets of crime)
This is war and thus
There is no time
For rest and recreation!
