Castle on a Cloud

There is a castle on a cloud
I like to go there in my sleep
Aren't any floors for me to sweep
Not in my castle on a cloud

There is a room that's full of toys
There are a hundred boys and girls
Nobody shouts or talks too loud
Not in my castle on a cloud

There is a lady all in white
Holds me and sings a lullaby
She's nice to see, and she's soft to touch
She says, "Cosette, I love you very much"

I know a place where no one's lost
I know a place where no one cries
Crying at all is not allowed
Not in my castle on a cloud

Oh help, I think I hear them now
And I'm nowhere near finished sweeping, and
Scrubbing and polishing the floor
Oh, it's her, it's Madame

Now look who's here
The little madam herself
Pretending once again she's been so awfully good
Better not let me catch you slacking
Better not catch my eye
Ten rotten francs your mother sends me
What is that going to buy?
Now take that pail

My little mademoiselle
And go and draw some water from the well
We should never have taken you in in the first place
How stupid, the things that we do
Like mother like daughter, the scum of the street
Still there, Cosette?
Your tears will do you no good
I told you, fetch some water from the well in the wood

Please do not send me out alone
Not in the darkness on my own
Enough of this, or I'll forget to be nice
You heard me ask for something
And I never ask twice
