Plumet Attack Lyrics

EPONINE

'Parnasse, what are you doing

So far out of our patch?

MONTPARNASSE

This house, we're going to do it

Rich man, plenty of scratch

You remember he's the one

Who got away the other day

Got a number on his chest

Perhaps a fortune put away!

EPONINE

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.

(Thenardier arrives 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?

Gimme me my share

Finish the job!

THENARDIER

You shut your mouth

Give me your hand

BRUJON

(Catching sight of Eponine)

What have we here?

THENARDIER

(Not recognizing her)

Who is this hussy?

BABET

It's your brat Eponine

Don't you know your own kid

Why's she hanging about you?

THENARDIER

Eponine, 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 softClaude-Michel Schonberg - Plumet Attack - http://motolyrics.com/claude-michel-schonberg/plumet-attack-lyrics.html

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, 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!

(The gang scatters. Marius and Cosette run back into the garden

And he hurriedly introduces Eponine before she takes off)

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

JAVERT

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...

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!
