-7   -8 8 -8 -7  -7 <7 -7
There is a castle on a cloud
-7 -8  8  -8  -7   7  -6   6
I like to go there in my sleep
  -5   6 -6  6    -7  -8 8   -7
Aren't any floors for me to sweep
-5  6  -6  6 -5  5  -4  -3 
Not in my castle on a cloud
 -7   -8 8  -8    -7    -7  <7  -7
There is a room that's full of toys
 -7   -8  8  -8 -7   7   -6    6  
There are a hundred boys and girls
-5 6 -6  6    -7  -8    8   -7    
Nobody shouts or talks too loud
-5  6  -6  6 -5  5  -4  -3
Not in my castle on a cloud
  -6  6  -5 5 -5  6  -6  6 5
There is a  lady all in white
 -7   7  -6    6   -6 7 -7 7
Holds me and sings a lullaby
  7   <-7  -7  7  -6    7    -7  -6   5
She's nice to see and she's soft to touch
-5   6      -6  6   -6  6  -6  6 -6  6
She says, 'Cosette, I love you very much'
-7 -8  8  -8    -7   -7  <7    -7
I know a place where no one's lost
-7 -8  8  -8     -7  7  -6    6 
I know a place where no one cries
 -5 6  -6  6  -7 -8   8  -7
Crying at all is not allowed
-5  6  -6  6 -5  5  -4  -3
Not in my castle on a cloud
-7   -7   -7 -7   -7 -7   -7  -7
Oh, help, I think I hear them now
-7  -7   -7 -7   -7   -7  -7   -7 -7   -7   -7  -7   -7 
And I'm nowhere near finished sweeping and scrubbing and 
-7 -7 -7  -7   -7
polishing the floor
-7   -7   6   6   6 -7
Oh, it's her'it's Madame
 6  <-7   6     -7    6  <-7 6   -7 6  <-7 -7
Now look who's here, the little Madame herself
 6 <-7 -7   7   -6 6   -5    <4  <-3 -3 4 7  <-6
Pretending once again she's been so  awfully good
-5 -5  -5  -5  -5   -5  -5   -5 -5
Better not let me catch you slacking
 -5 -5  -5   -5   -6 <7
Better not catch my eye
-6  -6 -6    -6    -6  -6 -6   -6   -6
Ten rotten francs your mother sends me
 -6  -6  -6  -6 <7 -8
What is that gonna buy?
-6   -8   -6  <-7   -6 -8 -6  <-7 -6 -8 <-7
Now take that pail, my little Mademoiselle
-6  -8 <-7  <7  <-6  -6 <-5  -5  -4  <-3
And go and draw some water  from the well
-6   -6   -6 -6  -6  -6 -6 -6  <-6 <-6 <-6  <-6   <-6
We should never have taken you in  in  the first place
<-6 <-6 <-6 <-6  <-6   <-6  <-6 7
How stupid  the things that we  do
 7    7 7    7    7   7     7   7   7   7    <7
Like mother like daughter, the scum of the street
<8 <8 <8 <-8  <-8 <-8  -7 -7 -7 <7  <7 <7  -7
Eponine, come my dear, Eponine, let me see you
-7   -7  <7 <7 <7  6   6   6 <-5   <5  <5
You look very well in that little blue hat
  -9     -9  -9 -9   -9   <8   <8  <8  <-7 <-7 <-7
There's some little girls who know how to  behave
-7   -7   -7  <-7 <-7 <-7  -7  -7  -7 -6
And they know what to wear and I'm saying
 -6    6 -5  -5   -5 
Thank heaven for that
 <-6    8    <-6 -8   <-6    8   <-6  -8 <-6 8   -8
Still there, Cosette? Your tears will do you no good
<-6  8   -8   -7    7   <-6 6 <-5   5   -4  -4 -3   <3
 I  told you fetch some water from the well in the wood
  -7   -8  8   -8  -7 -7  <7 -7
Please do not send me out alone
-7  -8  8   -8  -7  7  -6  6
Not in the darkness on my own
6 <-7  6   -7   6  <-7   6 -7  6  <-7 -7
Enough of that, or I'll forget to be nice
 6   <-7  -7  7  -6    6  -5   <4 <-3 -3 4  7   <-6
You heard me ask for something and I never ask twice
