Javert: |
|
Now bring me prisoner 24601 |

Your time is up |
|
And your parole's begun |
|
You know what that means. |
|
Valjean: |
|
Yes, it means I'm free. |

|
No! |
|
It means you get |
|
Your yellow ticket-of-leave |
|
You are a thief |

Valjean: |
|
I stole a loaf of bread. |
|
Javert: |
|
You robbed a house. |

I broke a window pane. |

My sister's child was close to death |
|
And we were starving. |
|
Javert: |
|
You will starve again |
|
Unless you learn the meaning of the law. |
|
Valjean: |
|
I know the meaning of those 19 years |
|
A slave of the law |
|
Javert: |
|
Five years for what you did |
|
The rest because you tried to run |
|
Yes, 24601. |

And I am Javert |

Do not forget me,24601. |
|
Chorus: |
|
Look down, look down |
|
You'll always be a slave |
|
Look down, look down |
|
You're standing in your grave. |
