The Robbery Lyrics by Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, Hugh Jackman, Samantha Barks, Russell Crowe

Les Misérables (The Motion Picture Soundtrack Deluxe) [Deluxe Edition]

2012

[THÉNARDIER, spoken]
Éponine!

(sung)
Everyone here, you know your place
Brujon, Babet, Claqusous!
You, Montparnasse, watch for the law
With Éponine, take care
You turn on the tears
No mistakes, my dears

Please M'sieur, come this way
Here's a child that ain't eaten today
Save a life, spare a soul
God rewards all the good that you do

[MADAME THÉNARDIER]
Wait a bit— know that face
Ain't the world a remarkable place?

[THÉNARDIER]
Men like me don't forget
You're the bastard that borrowed Colette!

[MADAME THÉNARDIER, spoken]
Cosette!

[THÉNARDIER, spoken]
Whatever

[VALJEAN]
What is this? Are you mad?
No, Monsieur, you don't know what you say

[THÉNARDIER]
You know me, I know you!

[MADAME THÉNARDIER]
Can you pay what we're due

[THÉNARDIER]
And you better dig deep!

[MADAME THÉNARDIER]
'Cause she doesn't come cheap!

[ÉPONINE]
It's the police! Disappear!
Run for it! It's Javert!

[VALJEAN, shouted]
(Cosette!)

[JAVERT]
Another brawl in the square
Another stink in the air
Was there a witness to this?
Well, let him speak to Javert
M'sieur, the streets are not safe
But let these vermin beware
We'll see that justice is done

Look upon this fine collection
Crawled from underneath a stone
This swarm of worms and maggots
Could have picked you to the bone

I know this man over here
I know his name and his trade
And on your witness, Monsieur
We'll see him suitably paid

[Valjean and Cosette have disappeared]

But where's the gentleman gone?
And why on earth did he run?

[THÉNARDIER]
You will have a job to find him
He's not all he seems to be
And that girl who trails behind him
Is the child he stole from me

[MADAME THÉNARDIER, spoken]
Yeah, and me!

[THÉNARDIER, spoken]
Yeah, both of us

[JAVERT]
Could it be he's that old jailbird
That the tide now washes in?
Heard my name and started running
All the omens point to him

[THÉNARDIER]
In the absence of a victim
Dear Inspector, may I go?
And remember, when you've nicked him
It was me what told you so!

[JAVERT]
Let the old man keep on running
I will run him off his feet
Everyone about your business
Clear this garbage off the street!
