Ring out the

May all the
Of the above

In
their songs of praise!

And crown
time with
and love.

(The procession becomes a celebration. A waltz is played)

DOMO
The and Baroness de Thnard wish to pay their respects to the groom!

I where we met
Was it not at the Chateau
the Duke did that puke
Down the de-coll-etage?

No, de Thnard'
The I move in are humbler by far.
Go away, Thnardier!
Do you think I know who you are?

MME.
He's not fooled. you so.
Show what you've come here to show.
the boy what you know!

(Applause the dancers as the waltz finishes)

When I at you, I remember Eponine.
She was more than you deserved, who her birth
But now she is God and happier, I hope,
Than on earth!
The starts up again.

So it goes, knows
Life has me some terrible blows.

MME.
You've got and a heart
You give us a bit of a start!
We can prove, as ink
Your bride's father is not you think.

There's a tale I could

MME.
Information willing to sell...

There's a man that he
I saw the corpse clear as I'm you!
I tell you is true!

MME.
to disturb you at a feast like this
But five hundred francs surely come amiss.

In God's name say you have to say.

But you pay!
I saw, clear as light,
Jean Valjean in the sewers night.
Had this corpse on his
Hanging like a bloody great sack.
I was there, fear.
Even found me fine souvenir.

(Thnardier shows a ring)

I this! This was mine!
This is surely heavenly sign!

One thing more, this well
It was the the barricades fell.

Then true. Then I'm right.
Jean Valjean was my that night!

(Marius punches Thnardier and then money at him)

As for you, take too!
God forgive the that we do.
my love, come Cosette,
This day's blessings are not yet!

(Marius and leave)

Life is pickings
If you your chance.

Law-abiding
Doing what is
But mostly broke!

Praying for the He'll send.

M. & MME.
But the ones who take it

Watch the dance
Watch 'em till they
Keep wits about you
And you on top!
Masters of the

Clear away the
And we're there!
We know where the wind is
Money is the we smell.
And when rich as Croesus
Jesus! we see you all in hell!

(Valjean is alone in the shadows, with a bare cross for company)

Alone I in the shadows
I the hours till I can sleep
I dreamed a Cosette stood by
It her weep to know I die.

Upon wedding night I pray
Take children, my Lord, to thy embrace
And show grace.
