The Beggers - Les Miserables
Beggers: Look down and see the beggers 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 fello 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 San Michelle We live off crumbs of humble piety Tough on the teeth - but what the hell! Think your poor? Think your free? Follow me! Follow me! Beggers: Look down and show some mercy if you can Look down, look down, upon your fellow man Enjolras: Where are the leaders of the land? Where are the swells who run the show? Marius: Only one man and that's Lamarque Speaks for the people here to go Beggers: 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 a 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 Gavroche: Watch out for ol' 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 the gang the bleeding lay-about 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! Beggers: Look down and show some mercy if you can Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.
