Castle On A Cloud

[Young Cosette]
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 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!

[Madame Thénardier]
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.

Eponine, come my dear, Eponine, let me see you
You look very well in that little blue hat
There's some little girls who know how to behave
And they know what to wear
And I'm saying thank heaven for that.

Still there, Cosette?
Your tears will do you no good
I told you fetch some water from the well in the wood.

[Young Cosette]
Please do not send me out alone
Not in the darkness on my own.

[Madame Thénardier]
Enough of that, or I'll forget to be nice
You heard me ask for something
And I never ask twice!
