Eponine`s Errand Lyrics

Eponine`s Errand lyrics

[Eponine is alone in the square.]
Eponine
     Cosette! Now I remember!
     Cosette! How can it be?
     We were children together
     Look what's become of me...
     [Marius returns.]
     Good God! Oh, what a rumpus!
Marius
     That girl, who can she be?
Eponine
     That cop! He'd like to jump us
     But he ain't smart, not he.
Marius
     Eponine, who was that girl?
Eponine
     Some bourgeois two-a-penny thing!
Marius
     Eponine, find her for me!
Eponine
     What will you give me?
Marius
     Anything!
Eponine
     Got you all excited now,
     But God knows what you see in her
     Ain't you all delighted now
     [She refuses Marius' money.]
     No, I don't want your money sir...
Marius
     Eponine, do this for me...
     Discover where she lives
     Be careful how you go
     Don't let her father know...
     'Ponine!  I'm lost until she's found!
Eponine
     You see, I told you so!
     There's lots of things I know...
     [Marius leaves.]
     'Ponine... she knows her way around...
