CHORUS
Ring out the bells upon this day of days
May all the angels of the Lord above
In jubilation sing their songs of praise
And crown this blessed time with peace and love

MAJOR DOMO
The Baron and Baroness de Thénard
Wish to pay their respects to the groom

THENARDIER
I forget where we met
Was it not at the Chateau Lafarge?
Where the Duke did that puke
Down the d____ss's decolletage?

MARIUS
No, Baron de Thénard
The circles I move in are humbler by far
Go away, Thénardier
Do you think I don't know who you are?

MME. THENARDIER
He's not fooled, told you so
Show Monsieur what
You've come here to show
Tell the boy what you know

MARIUS
When I look at you I remember Eponine
She was more than you deserved, who gave her birth
But now she is with God
And happier, I hope, than here on earth

THENARDIER
So it goes, Heaven knows
Life has dealt me some terrible blows

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

THENARDIER
There's a tale I could tell

MME. THENARDIER
Information we're willing to sell

THENARDIER
There's a man that he slew
I saw the corpse clear as I'm seeing you
What I tell you is true

MME. THENARDIER
Pity to disturb you at a feast like this
But five hundred francs surely wouldn't come amiss

MARIUS
In God's name, say what you have to say

THENARDIER
But first you pay

What I saw, clear as light
Jean Valjean in the sewers that night
Had this corpse on his back
Hanging there like a b_____ great sack

I was there, never fear
Even found me this fine souvenir

MARIUS
I know this, this was mine
This is surely some heavenly sign

THENARDIER
One thing more, mark this well
It was the night that the barricades fell

MARIUS
Then it's true, then I'm right
Jean Valjean was my savior that night

As for you, take this too
God forgive us the things that we do
Come, my love, come, Cosette
This day's blessings are not over yet
