Fantine's Arrest Lyrics & Tabs by Les Misérables - 10th Anniversary Concert Cast
Fantine's Arrest
guitar chords lyrics
Here's something new, I think I'll give it a try
Come closer you, I like to see what I buy
The usual price for just one slice of your pie
I don't want you
No, no monsieur let me go
Is this a trick? I won't pay more
No not at all
You've got some nerve you little whore, you've got some gaul
It's the same with a tart as it is with a grocer
The customer sees what he gets in advance
It's not for the whore to say yes sir or no sir
It's not for the harlet to pick or to choose or to lead me a dance
I'll kill you you bastard, try any of that
Even a whore who has gone to the bad won't be had by a rat
Tell me quickly what's the story
I'll kill you you bastard, try any of that
Even a whore who has gone to the bad won't be had by a rat
Tell me quickly what's the story
Who saw what and why and where
Let him give a full description
Let him answer to Javert
In this nest of whores and vipers let one speak who saw it all
Who laid hands on this good man here?
What's the subject of this brawl?
Javert, would you believe it?
I was crossing from the park
When this prostitute attacked me
You can see she left her mark
She will answer for her actions when you make a full report
You may rest assured, monsieur, that she will answer to the court
There's a child who sorely needs me
Please monsieur, she's but that high
Holy God is there no mercy?
If I go to jail she'll die
I have heard such protestations
Everyday for twenty years
Let's have no more explanations
Save your breath and save your tears
Honest work, just reward
That's the way to please the Lord
A moment of you time Javert, I do believe this womans tale
But Monsieur Mayor
You've done your duty, let her be
She needs a doctor not a jail
But Monsieur Mayor
Can this be?
Where will she end, this child without a friend?
I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grief in such a place as this?
Monsieur don't mock me now I pray
It's hard enough I've lost my pride
You let your foreman send me away
Yes you were there, and turned aside
I never did no wrong
Is it true what I've done?
My daughter's close to dying
To an innocent soul?
If there's a God above
Had I only known then
He'd let me die instead
In his name, my task has just begun
I will see it done/ But Monsieur Mayor
I will see it done/ But Monsieur Mayor
I will see it done
