The Robbery Lyrics

The Robbery lyrics

[Thenardier assembiling his gang.]

 

 Thenardier

 Everyone here, you know your place

 Brujon, Babet, Claqusous

 You, Montparnasse, watch for the law

 With Eponine, take care.

 You turn on the tears

 No mistakes, my dears

 

 Mme. Thenardier

 These bloody students on our street

 Here they come slumming once again

 Our Eponine would kiss their feet

 She never had a scrap of brain

 

 Marius

 Eponine, what's up today?

 I haven't seen you much about.

 

 Eponine

 Here, you can always catch me in.

 

 Marius

 Mind the police don't catch you out!

 

 Eponine

 Here, whatcher doing with all them books?

 I could have been a student too!

 Don't judge a girl on how she looks...

 I know a lot of things I do!

 

 Marius

 Poor Eponine, the things you know

 You wouldn't find in books like these.

 

 Eponine

 I like the way you grow your hair

 

 Marius

 I like the way you always tease

 

 Eponine

 Little he knows!

 Little he sees!

 

 [Valjean arrives with Cosette, now grown up.]

 

 Mme. Thenardier

 Here's the old boy. Stay on the job and watch out for

 the law.

 

 Eponine [to Marius]

 Stay out of this.

 

 Marius

 But Eponine...

 

 Eponine

 You'll be in trouble here

 It's not your concern

 You'll be in the clear

 

 [She pushes Marius away.]

 

 Marius

 Who is that man?

 

 Eponine

 Leave me alone!

 

 Marius

 Why is he here? Hey, Eponine!

 

 [He begins to follow her, and bumps into Cosette.]

 

 I didn't see you there, forgive me.

 

 Thenardier

 Please M'sieur, come this way

 Here's a child that ain't eaten today.

 Save a life, spare a sou

 God rewards all the good that you do.

 Wait a bit. Know that face.

 Ain't the world a remarkable place?

 Men like me don't forget

 You're the bastard that borrowed Cosette!

 

 [Thenardier grabs Valjean and rips open his shirt,

 revealing the number on his chest.]

 

 Valjean

 What is this? Are you mad?

 No, Monsieur, you don't know what you do!

 

 Thenardier

 You know me, you know me.

 I'm a con, just like you.

 

 Eponine

 It's the police! Disappear!

 Run for it! It's Javert!
