The Bargain - Live

I found her wandering in the woods
This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows

Who's this bloke?

And I am here to help Cosette
And I will settle any debt you may think proper
I will pay

Pay?

What I must pay
To take Cosette away

There is a duty I must heed

Right?

There is a promise I have made
For I was blind to one in need

Oh? What's he on about?
I don't know

I did not see what stood before me
Now her mother is with God

Says now her mother is with god
I heard
Oh

Fantine's suffering is over

Oh blimey Fantine's snuffed it
Shh!

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

From this day and evermore

Let me have your coat, M'sieur

Cosette shall live in my protection

You are very welcome here

I shall not forsake my vow

Take a glass
Take a chair

Cosette shall have a father now

Leave it to me, I've got this

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 Courgette

sette!

sette

Dear Fantine, gone to rest
Have we done for her child what is best?
Shared our bread, didn't we?
Shared each bone
Treated her like she's one of our own
Like our own, Monsieur

Your feelings do you credit, sir

Oh, thank you

And I will ease the parting blow
Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
Now may I say we are agreed?

Oh!
That would quite fit the bill
If she hadn't so often been ill
Little dear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive, M'sieur

Shocking!

Not that we begrudged a sou

No no no no

It's no more than we Christians must do!

One thing more, one small doubt
There are treacherous people about
No offense, please reflect
Your intentions might not be, correct

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

Bye!

Let us seek out some friendlier sky
Thank you both

Ej!?

For Cosette

Whatever

It won't take you too long to forget

Fifteen hundred!? It's all mine!
