The Robbery

Everyone here

you know your place

Brujon, Babet, Claquesous

You, Montparnasse, watch for the law

with Eponine 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 sou

god rewards all the good that you do

wait a bit

I know that face

ain't the world a remarkable place

Men like me don't forget

You're the bastard who borrowed Colette!

What is this?

Are you mad？

No, monsieur, you don't know what you see!

You know me I know you

And you'll pay what I'm due

And you better dig deep

Cause she doesn't come cheap!

It's the police! disappear

run for it! it's 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, m'sieur

We'll see him suitably paid.

but where's the gentleman gone

and why on earth did he run?

You will have a job to find him

He's the only seemed to be

and the girl he trails behind him

is the child he stole from me.

Could it be he's that old jailbird

that the tide now washes in

heard my name and started running

had the brand upon his skin.

In the absence of a victim

dear inspector, may I go

and remember when you've nicked him

it was me who told you so!

Let the old man keep on running

I will run him off his feet!

Everyone about your business

clear this garbage off the street!
