Les Misérables (Original 1985 London Cast Recording)

[THÉNARDIER]
What to do, what to say
Shall you carry our treasure away?
What a gem, what a pearl
Beyond rubies is our little girl
How can we speak of debt?
Let's not haggle for darling Cosette
Dear Fantine, gone to rest
Have we done for your child what is best?
Shared our bread, shared each bone
Treated her like she's one of our own
Like our own, Monsieur
[VALJEAN]
Your feelings do you credit, sir
And I will ease the parting blow
Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
Now may I say we are agreed?
[MADAME THÉNARDIER]
That would quite fit the bill
If she hadn't so often been ill
Little dear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive, Monsieur
Not that we begrudged a sou
It's no more than we Christians must do
[THÉNARDIER & MADAME THÉNARDIER]
One thing more, one small doubt
There are treacherous people about
No offence, please reflect
Your intentions may not be correct
[VALJEAN]
No more words, here's your price
Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice
Come, Cosette, say goodbye
Let us seek out a friendlier sky
Thank you both for Cosette
It won't take you too long to forget
Credits
