(Beggars Enter)



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 and gang enters)



Gavroche:

How d'ya do my names 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 Michel

We live off crums of 'umble pioty

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



Women:

What d'ya think your at?

Hanging round my pitch?

If you're new around here girl you've got a lot to learn



Women2:

Listen you ol' bat

Crazy bloody witch!

Least I give my costumers some pleasure in return!



Women:

I know what give! 

Ya give'em all the pox!

Spread around your poison 'til they end up in a box!



Man:

Leave the poor ol' cow!

Move it, Madeleine!

She used to be no better 'til the clap got to her brain!



Beggars:

When's this gonna end? 

Where are we gonna live?

Something's gonna happen soon

Or somethings gonna give!

It'll come it'll come it'll come it'll come it'll come it'll come it'll come



Enjolras:

Where are the leaders of the land? 

Where are the swells who run the show?



Marius:

Only one man and that's Lemarque

Speaks for the people here below



Beggars:

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 in His name



Marius:

Lemarque 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 judgment day?

Before we cut the fat ones down to size

before the barricades arise!



Beggars:

Look down and show some mercy if you can

Look down look down upon your fellow man....
