The Last Good People in this Town Lyrics by Bonnie Gleicher

0

[Madame Thenardier]
Can I tell you just how grateful
Oh how thankful that I am
We are famished
We are hopeless
We are hanging by a thread
See this apple
Just an apple
Nearly everything we own
And I split it for boys
Which is why I’m skin and bones
See our clothing
They are ragged from a catholic charity
Can't afford a threat sew ’em
So that’s how they’ll have to be
But I do my best to dress the boys
For our holy mass
’Cause the lord saves the broken so I guess we get a pass
I don’t want to seem altogether tragic
Can you feel the love bursting from this home?
Mwah!
Can I say again we’re grateful that you came down
Honestly my my friends we are the last good people in this town
The last good people in this town
So’s the floor’s a little dirty
Probably stinkin’ up the room
But we haven’t got a sou
And so we can’t afford a broom
See this broken window pane
It was the gamin down the street
May they find the peace inside them
Oh the devil may they beat
And this knife
Oh yes this knife
It was for slicing up the fruit
Baby boy, oh won’t you eat it
[Grizzly, spoken]
I’m not hungry
[Madame Thenardier]
(Spoken)
Oh how cute
(Sung)
He is saving it for mommy
Such generosity
I am teaching them their etiquette
How sweet they’ll grow to be
Now I don’t want to seem altogether desperate
Can you feel the faith swelling through my heart
EAT!
God, he is the vine
We are just the branches
Oh, how can we frown
We are the last good people in this town
The last good people in this town
Isn’t it true?
It’s a scary world out there
Full of liers
Cheaters
Thieves
Ain’t it true?
That in times like this
When its a struggle just to live
Oh, just to live
The best we do is
Give...
[Male social worker, spoken]
Dear, dear, dear, this is such an unfortunate set of circumstances
[Female social worker, spoken]
For such an exemplary mother
[Both workers, spoken]
Hm
[Female worker, spoken]
Let’s discuss
[Male worker, spoken]
We will approve the highest monthly child welfare payment until they are 18 years old
[Madame Thenardier, spoken]
Oh my! Now that’s the largest monthly child welfare payment for each boy separately until he is 18, right?
[Female Worker, spoken]
Well, of course
[Madame Thenardier, spoken]
Oh, merci! God has smiled on me and my children today!
[Male worker, spoken]
Good day, madame]
[Madame Thenardier]
(Spoken)
Good day
(sung)
No I don’t want to boast
But tell me I’m a genius
Can you feel the money
Bursting from this house
[Both Thenariders]
Yeah!
[Thenardier]
Nothin’ like a dupe!
[Madame Thenardier]
Don’t you love a sucker
Kids go run outside
You’re valuable
[Both Thenardiers]
Don’t die!
[Madame Thenardier]
Someone pass a crown
[Both Thenardiers]
For the last good people in this town
The last good people in this town
The last good people in this town
[Policeman]
Shut up, and put your hands up!
[Both Thanardiers]
Uh oh!
