Les Misérables The attack on Rue Plumet Lyrics

ÉPONINE
'Parnasse, what are you doing
So far out of our patch?

MONTPARNASSE
This house, we're gonna 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

ÉPONINE
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

THÉNARDIER
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

BRUJON
What do I care who you should rob?
Give me my share, finish the job

THÉNARDIER
You shut your mouth
Give me your hand

BRUJON
What have we here?

THÉNARDIER
Who is this hussy?

BABET
It's your brat Éponine
Don't you know your own kid?
Why's she hanging about you?

THÉNARDIER
Éponine, get on home
You're not needed in this
We're enough here without you

ÉPONINE
I know this house, I tell you
There is nothing here for you
Just the old man and the girl
They live ordinary lives

THÉNARDIER
Don't interfere
You've got some gall
Take care, young miss
You've got a lot to say

BRUJON
She's going soft

CLAQUESOUS
Happens to all

MONTPARNASSE
Go home, Éponine
Go home, you're in the way

EPONINE
I'm gonna scream
I'm gonna warn them here

THÉNARDIER
One little scream
And you'll regret it for a year

CLAQUESOUS
What a palaver
What an absolute treat
To see a cat and its father
Pick a bone in the street

BRUJON
Not a sound out of you

ÉPONINE
Well, I told you I'd do it
I told you I'd do it

THÉNARDIER
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

MARIUS
It was your cry that sent them away
Once more Éponine saving the day
Dearest Cosette, my friend Éponine
Brought me to you, showed me the way
Someone is near, let's not be seen
Somebody's here

VALJEAN
My God, Cosette, I heard a cry in the dark
I heard the shout of angry voices in the street

COSETTE
That was my cry you heard, Papa
I was afraid of what they'd do
They ran away when they heard my cry

VALJEAN
Cosette, my child, what will become of you?

COSETTE
Three men I saw beyond the wall
Three men in shadow moving fast

VALJEAN
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, 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
