The Robbery

Eponine 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 monsieur come this way here's a child

That ain't eaten today save a life spare a soul God rewards all the good that you do

Wait a bit know that face ain't the world a remarkable place

Men like me don't forget you're the bastard that borrowed Collette Cosette

Whatever what is this are you mad no monsieur you don't know what you say

You know me I know you and you'll pay what we're due and you better dig deep

'Cause she doesn't come cheap Brujon 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

Monsieur these streets are not safe but let these foul men 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 monsieur I'll see him suitably paid but where's the gentleman gone

And why on earth would he run you will have a job to find him he's not all he seems to be

And that girl who trails behind him is the child stole from me and me yeah both of us

Could it be he's that old jail bird that the tide now washes in heard my name and started

Running all the omens point to him in the absence of a victim dear inspector may I go

And remember when you've nicked him it was me what 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
