The Attack On Rue Plumet Lyrics

Eponine'Parnasse, what are you doingSo far out of our patch? MontparnasseThis house, we're going to do itRich man, plenty of scratchYou remember he's the oneWho got away the other dayGot a number on his chestPerhaps a fortune put away! EponineOh Lord, somebody help me!Dear God, what'll I do?He'll think this is an ambushHe'll think I'm in it too! What'll I do, what'll I say?I've got to warn them hereI've got to find a way. [Thenardier arrives with the rest of his gang.] ThenardierThis is his lairI've seen the old fox aroundHe keeps himself to himselfHe's staying close to the groundI smell profit here! Ten years agoHe came and paid for CosetteI let her go for a songIt's time we settled the debtThis'll cost him dear BrujonWhat do I careWho you should robGive me my shareFinish the job! ThenardierYou shut your mouthGive me your hand [He notices Eponine but doesn't recognize her.] BrujonWhat have we here? ThenardierWho is this hussy? BabetIt's your brat EponineDon't you know your own kidWhy's she hanging about you? Thenardier'Ponine, get on homeYou're not needed in thisWe're enough here without you EponineI know this houseI tell you there's nothing here for youJust the old man and the girlThey live ordinary lives ThenardierDon't interfereYou've got some gallTake care, young miss,You've got a lot to say! BrujonShe's going soft ClaquesousHappens to all MontparnasseGo home, 'Ponine,Go home, you're in the way EponineI'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here. ThenardierOne little scream and you'll regret it for a year. ClaquesousWhat a palaverWhat an absolute treatTo watch a cat and it's fatherPick a bone in the street BrujonNot a sound out of you! EponineWell I told you I'd do it, told you I'd do it... [She screams.] ThenardierYou wait my girl, you'll rue this nightI'll make you scream, you'll scream all rightLeave her to me, don't wait aroundMake for the sewers, go underground! [The gang scatters.] MariusIt was your cry sent them awayOnce more 'Ponine saving the dayDearest Cosette, my friend 'PonineBrought me to you, showed me the way! Someone is nearLet's not be seenSomebody's here... [Marius leaves quickly as Valjean enters.] ValjeanMy God, CosetteI heard a cry in the darkI heard the shout of angry voices in the street. CosetteThat was my cry you heard, Papa.I was afraid of what they'd do.They ran away when they heard my cry ValjeanCosette, my child, what will become of you? CosetteThree men I saw beyond the wallThree men in shadow moving fast ValjeanThis is a warning to us allThese are the shadows of the pastMust be Javert!He's found my cover at last!I've got to get Cosette awayBefore they return!We must get away from shadowsThey will never let us beTomorrow to CalaisThen a ship across the sea!Hurry, Cosette, prepare to leave and say no moreTomorrow we'll away!Hurry, Cosette, it's time to close another doorAnd live another day!
