Beggars:Look down and see the beggars at your feet
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down and see The sweepings of the street
Look down, look down upon your fellow man!
Gavroche:How do you do? My name's Gavroche.
These are my people. Here's my patch.
Not much to look at, nothing posh
Nothing that you'd call up to scratch.
This is my school, my high society
Here in the slums of Saint Michele
We live on crumbs of humble piety
Tough on the teeth, but what the hell!
Think you're poor?
Think you're free?
Follow me! Follow me!
Beggars:Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man
what you think yer at?hanging round me pitch
If you're new around here,girl you've got a lot to learn
Listen you old bat crazy bloody witch
Least I give my customers some pleasure in return
I know what you give,you give them all the pox
You spread around your poison till they end up in a box
Leave the poor old cow,move it Madeleine
She used to be no better till the clap got to her brain
When's it gonna end?When we gonna live?
Something's gotta happen now or something's gonna give
It'll come,it'll come,it'll come,it'll come,
Marius:Where are the leaders of the land?
Where are the swells who run this show?
Enjolras:Only one man and that's Lamarque
Speaks for the people here below.
See our children fed!Help us in our shame!
Something for a crust of bread in holy Jesus' name!
In the lord's holy name,in his name,in his name,in his name
Marius:Lamarque is ill and fading fast!
Won't last the week out, so they say.
Enjolras:With all the anger in the land
How long before the judgement day?
Before we cut the fat ones down to size?
Before the barricades arise?
Gavroche:Watch out for old Thenardier!
All of his family's on the make
Once ran a hash-house down the way
Bit of a swine and no mistake
He's got a gang the bleeding laybout
Even his daughter does her share
That's Eponine,she knows her way about
only a kid but hard to scare!
Do we care? Not a cuss!
Long live us!Long live us!
Beggars:Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man
