[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

[MADAME THÉNARDIER]
Now look who’s here, the little madame 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 gonna buy?
Now, take that pail, my little Mademoiselle
And go and draw some water from the well
[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
