Les Miserables Lyrics

Eponine's Errand

[Eponine]
Cosette! Now I remember!
Cosette! How can it be?
We were children together
Look what's become of me...

[Marius returns.]

Good God! Oh, what a rumpus!

[Marius]
That girl, who can she be?

[Eponine]
That cop! He'd like to jump us
But he ain't smart, not he.

[Marius]
Eponine, who was that girl?

[Eponine]
Some bourgeois two-a-penny thing!

[Marius]
Eponine, find her for me!

[Eponine]
What will you give me?

[Marius]
Anything!

[Eponine]
Got you all excited now,
But God knows what you see in her
Ain't you all delighted now

[She refuses Marius' money.]

No, I don't want your money sir...

[Marius]
Eponine, do this for me...
Discover where she lives
Be careful how you go
Don't let her father know...

'Ponine! I'm lost until she's found!

[Eponine]
You see, I told you so!
There's lots of things I know...

[Marius leaves.]
'Ponine... she knows her way around...
