The Attack On Rue Plumet Lyrics - Les Miserables

[Thenardier arrives at Rue Plumet with the rest of his gang.] 

Thenardier: 

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! 

Thenardier: 

You shut your mouth 

Give me your hand 

[He notices Eponine but doesn't recognize her.] 

Brujon: 

What have we here? 

Thenardier: 

Who is this hussy? 

Brujon: 

It's your brat Eponine 

Don't you know your own kid? 

Babet: 

Why's she hanging about you? 

Thenardier: 

'Ponine, get on home 

You're not needed in this 

We're enough here without you! 

Eponine: 

I know this house 

I tell you, there's nothing here for you! 

Just the old man and the girl 

They live ordinary lives 

Thenardier: 

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, 'Ponine, 

Go home, you're in the way! 

Eponine: 

I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here. 

Thenardier: 

One little scream and you'll regret it for a year. 

Claquesous: 

What a palaver 

What an absolute treat 

To watch a cat and it's father 

Pick a bone in the street 

Brujon 

Not a sound out of you! 

Eponine 

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

[She screams.] 

Thenardier: 

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! 

You wait my girl, you'll rue this night 

I'll make you scream, you'll scream all right! 

[The gang scatters.] 

Marius: 

It was your cry sent them away 

Once more 'Ponine, saving the day 

Dearest Cosette, my friend 'Ponine 

Brought me to you, showed me the way! 

Someone is near 

Let's not be seen 

Somebody's here... 

[Marius leaves quickly as Valjean enters.] 

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!
