Tracy Shayne - The Attack on Rue Plumet lyrics

[EPONINE] 'Parna**e, 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 Give me my share Finish the job! [THENARDIER] You shut your mouth Give me your hand [THENARDIER notices EPONINE but doesn't recognize her] [BRUJON] What have we here? [THENARDIER] 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 soft [CLAQUESOU] 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 [CLAQUESOU] What a palaver What an absolute treat To see a cat and its father Pick a bone in the street [BRUJON] Not a sound out of you! [EPONINE] Well, I told you I'd do it I told you I'd do it [EPONINE 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] 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 [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 They will never let us be Tomorrow to Calais 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!
