Lyrics:

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 Cosette

Dear Fantine, gone to rest
Have we done for her child what is best?
Shared our bread. Shared each bone.
Treated her like she's one of our own
Like our own, Monsieur

Your feelings do you credit, sir
And I will ease the parting blow
He pays them.
Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
Now, may I say, we are agreed?

That would quite fit the bill
If she hadn't so often been ill
Little dear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive, M'sieur
Not that we begrudged a sou
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 may not be correct?

No more words. Here's your price.
Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice.
Come, Cosette, say goodbye
Let us seek out some friendlier sky.
Thank you both for Cosette
It won't take you too long to forget.

Come, Cosette, come, my dear
From now on I will always be here
Where I go, you will be.

Will there be children and castles to see?

Yes, Cosette, yes, it's true.
There's a castle just waiting for you.
