The Attack on Rue Plumet Lyrics by Les Misérables: International Cast

Les Misérables: The Complete Symphonic Recording

[ÉPONINE]
'Parnasse, what are you doing
So far out of our patch?
[MONTPARNASSE]
This house, we're gonna do it
Rich man, plenty of scratch
You remember he's the one
That got away the other day
Got a number on his chest
Perhaps a fortune put away!
[ÉPONINE]
Oh Lord, somebody help me
Dear God, what'll I do?
He'll think this is an ambush
He'll think I'm in it too
What'll I do, what'll I say?
I've got to warn them here
I've got to find a way
[THÉNARDIER arrives with the rest of his gang.]
[THÉNARDIER]
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!
[THÉNARDIER]
You shut your mouth
Give me your hand
[BRUJON notices ÉPONINE.]
[BRUJON]
What have we here?
[THÉNARDIER]
Who is this hussy?
[BABET]
It's your brat Éponine
Don't you know your own kid?
Why's she hanging about you?
[THÉNARDIER]
Éponine, get on home
You're not needed in this
We're enough here without you
[ÉPONINE]
I know this house
I tell you there's nothing here for you
Just the old man and the girl
They live ordinary lives
[THÉNARDIER]
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
[ÉPONINE]
I'm gonna scream
I'm gonna warn them here
[THÉNARDIER]
One little scream and you'll regret it for a year
[CLAQUESOUS]
What a palaver
What an absolute treat
To see a cat and its father
Pick a bone on the street
[BRUJON]
Not a sound out of you!
[ÉPONINE]
Well, I told you I'd do it
I told you I'd do it
[ÉPONINE screams.]
[THÉNARDIER]
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!
[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 arrives back home.]
[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
That will never let us be
Tomorrow to Calais
And 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
