The Robbery (Live)

The Robbery - Ashley Artus/The 'Les Misérables 2010' Company/Lynne Wilmot

Here's the old boy

Stay on the job

And watch out for the law

Stay out of this

But Eponine

You'll be in trouble here

It's not your concern

You'll be in the clear

Who is this man?

Leave me alone

Why is he here? Hey, Eponine

I didn't see you there, forgive me

Please Monsieur, 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, know that face

Ain't the world a remarkable place?

Men like me don't forget

You're the bastard who borrowed Cosette

What is this? Are you mad?

No, Monsieur, you don't know what you do

You know me, you know me

I'm a con', just like you

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, 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, Monsieur

We'll see him suitably paid

Where's the gentleman gone?

Why earth did he run?

You will have a job to catch him

He's the one you should arrest

No more bourgeois when you scratch him

Than that brand upon his chest

Could it be he's some old jailbird

That the tide now washes in?

Heard my name and started running

Had the brand upon his skin

And the girl who stood beside him

When I turned they both had gone

Could he be the man I've hunted?

Could it be he's Jean Valjean?

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
