The Attack on Rue Plumet

Lyrics

[MONTPARNESSE] This is his lair I've seen the old fox around [BABET] He keeps himself to himself He's staying close to the ground [THÉNARDIER] 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 will cost him dear [BRUJON & GANG, spoken] What do I care (Shh!) Who you should rob? (Shut up) Give me my share Finish the job! [THÉNARDIER] You shut your mouth You'll get what's yours [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 needеd in this We're enough hеre without you [ÉPONINE & GANG, spoken] I know this house I tell you there's nothing here for you (Shut up) Just the old man and the girl (Will you shut up? Shh!) 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 [GANG, spoken] Come on [ÉPONINE screams.] [THÉNARDIER] Make for the sewers Go underground Leave her to me Don't wait around You wait my girl You'll rue this night I'll make you scream You'll scream all right! [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 [COSETTE, spoken] No [VALJEAN] Hurry, Cosette, it's time to close another door And live another day
