LES MISERABLES lyrics : "The Bargain/The Thénardier Waltz of Treachery"

Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean
Sacha Baron Cohen as Thénardier
Helena Bonham Carter as Mme. Thénardier

Isabelle Allen as Young Cosette

YOUNG COSETTE

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la


VALJEAN
Hush now

Do not be afraid of me
Don't hide
Show me where you live

Tell me my child what is your name?

YOUNG COSETTE

I'm called Cosette

VALJEAN

I found her wandering in the wood
This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
And I am here to help Cosette

And I will settle any debt you may think proper

I will pay what I must pay

To take Cosette away

This is a duty I must heed

There is a promise I have made
For I was blind to one in need
I did not see what stood before me


Now your mother is with God
Her suffering is over

And I speak here with her voice
And I stand here in her place


And from this day and evermore

MME. THÉNARDIER

Let me have your coat, M'sieur

VALJEAN

Cosette shall live in my protection

THÉNARDIER

You are very welcome here

VALJEAN

I will not forget my vow

THÉNARDIER

Take a glass

MME. THÉNARDIER

Take a chair

VALJEAN

Cosette shall have a father now!



THÉNARDIER
What to do? What to say?
Shall you carry our treasure away?

What a gem! What a pearl!
Beyond rubies is our little girl!
How can we speak of debt?

Let's not haggle for darling Colette!

Dear Fantine, gone to rest...

Have we done for her child what is best?
Shared our bread. Shared each bone.
Treated her like she's one of our own!

Like our own, Monsieur!

VALJEAN
Your feelings do you credit, sir
And I will ease the parting blow

Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
Now, may I say, we are agreed?

MME. THENARDIER
That would quite fit the bill

If she hadn't so often been ill
Little dear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive, M'sieur
Not that we begrudged a sou
It's no more than we Christians must do!


VALJEAN
No more words, here's your price.
Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice.
Come, Cosette, say goodbye

Let us seek out some friendlier sky
Thank you both for Cosette
It won't take you too long to forget

Where I go, you will be


YOUNG COSETTE
Will you be like a papa to me?

VALJEAN
Yes, Cosette, this is true
I'll be father and mother to you
