Lyrics

'Parnasse, what are you doing
So far out of our patch?
This house, we're going to do it
Rich man, plenty of scratch
You remember he's the one that got away the other day
Got a number on his chest, perhaps a fortune put away!
Oh Lord, somebody help me!
Dear God, what'll I do?
He'll think this is an ambush
He'll think I'm in it too!
What'll I do, what'll I say?
I've got to warn them here, I've got to find a way
This is his lair I've seen the old fox around
He keeps himself to himself, he's staying close to the ground
I smell profit here!
Ten years ago he came and paid for Cosette
I let her go for a song, it's time we settled the debt
This'll cost him dear
What do I care who you should rob
Give me my share finish the job!
You shut your mouth, give me your hand
What have we here?
Who is this hussy?
It's your brat Éponine, don't you know your own kid
Why's she hanging about you?
Éponine, get on home, you're not needed in this
We're enough here without you
I know this house
I tell you there's nothing here for you
Just the old man and the girl
They live ordinary lives
Don't interfere
You've got some gall
Take care, young miss, you've got a lot to say!
She's going soft
Happens to all
Go home, 'Ponine, go home, you're in the way
I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here
One little scream and you'll regret it for a year
What a palaver, what an absolute treat
To watch a cat and its father pick a bone in the street
Not a sound out of you!
Well I told you I'd do it, told you I'd do it!
You wait my girl, you'll rue this night
I'll make you scream, you'll scream all right!
Leave her to me, don't wait around
Make for the sewers, go underground!
It was your cry sent them away
Once more 'Ponine saving the day
Dearest Cosette, my friend 'Ponine
Brought me to you, showed me the way!
Someone is near
Let's not be seen
Somebody's here
My God, Cosette
I heard a cry in the dark
I heard the shout of angry voices in the street
That was my cry you heard, Papa
I was afraid of what they'd do
They ran away when they heard my cry
Cosette, my child, what will become of you?
Three men I saw beyond the wall
Three men in shadow moving fast
This is a warning to us all
These are the shadows of the past
Must be Javert! He's found my cover at last!
I've got to get Cosette away before they return!
We must get away from shadows, they will never let us be
Tomorrow to Calais and then a ship across the sea!
Hurry, Cosette, prepare to leave and say no more
Tomorrow we'll away!
Hurry, Cosette, it's time to close another door
And live another day!
