The Waltz Of Treachery Lyrics

The Waltz Of Treachery lyrics

Thenardier

 What to do? What to say?

 Shall you carry our treasure away?

 What a gem! What a pearl!

 Beyond rubies is our little girl!

 How can we speak of debt?

 Let's not haggle for darling Cosette!

 Dear Fantine, gone to rest

 Have we done for her child what is best?

 Shared our bread, shared each bone

 Treated her like she's one of our own!

 Like our own, Monsieur!

 

 Valjean

 Your feelings do you credit, sir

 And I will ease the parting blow

 

 [He pays them.]

 

 Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed

 Now, may I say, we are agreed?

 

 Mme. Thenardier

 That would quite fit the bill

 If she hadn't so often been ill

 Little dear, cost us dear

 Medicines are expensive, M'sieur

 Not that we begrudged a sou

 It's no more than we Christians must do!

 

 M. and Mme. Thenardier

 One thing more, one small doubt

 There are treacherous people about

 No offense, please reflect

 Your intentions may not be... correct?

 

 Valjean

 No more words, here's your price.

 Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice

 Come, Cosette, say goodbye,

 Let us seek out some friendlier sky.

 Thank you both for Cosette

 It won't take you too long to forget.

 

 [Valjean and Cosette leave the inn.]

 

 Come, Cosette, come, my dear

 From now on I will always be here

 Where I go, you will be.

 

 Cosette

 Will there be children

 And castles to see?

 

 Valjean

 Yes, Cosette,

 Yes, it's true

 There's a castle just waiting for you...
