Song by M. & Mme. Thenardie<br /><br>

THENARDIER<br>

What to do? What to say?<br>

Shall you carry our treasure away?<br>

What a gem! What a pearl!<br>

Beyond rubies is our little girl!<br>

How can we speak of debt?<br>

Let's not haggle for darling Cosette!<br>

<br>

Dear Fantine, gone to rest...<br>

Have we done for her child what is best?<br>

Shared our bread. Shared each bone.<br>

Treated her like she's one of our own!<br>

Like our own, Monsieur!<br>

<br>

VALJEAN<br>

Your feelings do you credit, sir<br>

And I will ease the parting blow<br>

He pays them.<br>

Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed<br>

Now, may I say, we are agreed?<br>

<br>

MME. THENARDIER<br>

That would quite fit the bill<br>

If she hadn't so often been ill<br>

Little dear, cost us dear<br>

Medicines are expensive, M'sieur<br>

Not that we begrudged a sou<br>

It's no more than we Christians must do!<br>

<br>

M. & MME. THENARDIER<br>

One thing more, one small doubt<br>

There are treacherous people about<br>

No offense. Please reflect.<br>

Your intentions may not be correct?<br>

<br>

VALJEAN<br>

No more words. Here's your price.<br>

Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice.<br>

Come, Cosette, say goodbye<br>

Let us seek out some friendlier sky.<br>

Thank you both for Cosette<br>

It won't take you too long to forget.<br>

<br>

(Valjean and Cosette leave the inn)<br>

<br>

Come, Cosette, come, my dear<br>

From now on I will always be here<br>

Where I go, you will be.<br>

<br>

YOUNG COSETTE<br>

Will there be children and castles to see?<br>

<br>

VALJEAN<br>

Yes, Cosette, yes, it's true.<br>

There's a castle just waiting for you.<br>

<br>

VALJEAN & YOUNG COSETTE<br>

La la la la la...<br>

<br>
