Wing - Castle on a Cloud Lyrics
Young CosetteThere 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 room that's full of toys,There are a hundred boys and girls,Nobody shouts or talks too loud,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 andscrubbing and polishing the floor.Oh, it's her! It's Madame!Mme. ThenardierNow look who's hereThe little madam herself!Pretending once again she's been `so awfully good',Better not let me catch you slackingBetter not catch my eye!Ten rotten francs your mother sends meWhat is that going to buy?Now take that pailMy little `Mademoiselle'And go and draw some water from the well!We should never have taken you in in the first placeHow stupid, the things that we do!Like mother like daughter, the scum of the street.Eponine, come my dear, Eponine, let me see youYou look very well in that new little blue hatThere's some little girls who know how to behaveAnd they know what to wearAnd 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 CosettePlease do not send me out aloneNot in the darkness on my own!Mme. ThenardierEnough of that, or I'll forget to be nice!You heard me ask for something,And I never ask twice![Young Eponine pushes Cosette out. Thenardier says good night to his daughter as the inn fills up for the evening.]
