Thenardier Waltz Lyrics - Les Miserables

[M. Thenardier] 

What to do? 

What to say? 

Shall you carry our treasure away? 

What a gem, what pearl, beyond rubies is our little girl! 

How can we speak of debt? 

Let's not haggle for darling Cosette... 

Dear Fantine, gone to rest, 

Have we done for your child what's 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, 

then 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 been so often been ill 

Little dear, cost us dear! 

Medicines are expensive, monsieur! 

Not that we begrudged a sou 

it's no more than we Christians must do... 

[M. & Mme. Thenardier] 

One thing more 

One small doubt, 

there are treacherous people about! 

No offence. Please reflect. 

Your intentions may not be correct. 

[Valjean] 

No more words here's your price, 

1500 for your "sacrifice". Come 

Cosette, say goodbye. Let us 

seek out a friendlier sky. Thank 

you both. For Cosette. It won't 

take you to long to forget.
