Herr Im Haus lyrics

[Bamatabois is a well dressed gentleman.]
Bamatabois
Here`s something new, I think I`ll give it a try.
Come closer you! I like to see what I buy
The usual price, for just a slice of your pie
Fantine
I don`t want you, no, no, m`sieur, let me go.
Bamatabois
Is this a trick? I won`t pay more!
Fantine
No, not at all.
Bamatabois
You`ve got some nerve, you little whore
You`ve got some gall.
It`s the same with a tart as it is with a grocer
The customer sees what he gets in advance
It`s not for the whore to say `yes sir` or `no sir`
It`s not for the harlot to pick and to choose
Or lead me to a dance!
[He hits her with his stick, she claws at his face,
drawing blood.]
Fantine
I`ll kill you, you bastard, try any of that!
Even a whore who has gone to the bad
Won`t be had by a rat!
Bamatabois
By Christ you`ll pay for what you have done
This rat will make you bleed, you`ll see!
I guarantee, I`ll make you suffer
For this disturbance of the peace
For this insult to life and property!
Fantine
I beg you, don`t report me sir
I`ll do whatever you may want
Bamatabois
Make your excuse to the police!
[Javert enters, accompanied by constables.]
Javert
Tell me quickly what`s the story
Who saw what and why and where
Let him give a full description
Let him answer to Javert!
In this nest of whores and vipers
Let one speak who saw it all
Who laid hands on this good man here?
What`s the substance of this brawl?
Bamatabois
